Nana and Papa took the girls shopping for a new outfit to start school. They got new clothes, new shoes, new socks, and even new haircuts. Somehow, I think the teacher should get that treatment as well, but I digress.
Shelby is starting 2nd grade and is very excited. She is working on her reading skills and always wants to do art.
Lexi is starting 4th grade (this must be a mistake). She is excited about doing her on-line math and learning Spanish.We are looking forward to a great year. We are studying American History and Earth Sciences. Lexi is going to begin piano lessons and both girls will participate in the home school gymnastics program. We will continue to swim throughout the year at the indoor pool in Yakima. We are very excited for all the fun things that we are able to do as a home schooling family.
This is the girls room. It is a dark picture, but it is pink with the same border. It has lavender curtain and window seat.
Here is a picture of the dining room that flows into the family room. The bathroom door is open and Grandpa is doing wash. As you can see, we have a lot of swim suits hanging up.
Now this picture is of the "dance floor" upstairs. It is 1500 sq. ft. with hard wood floors and a stage. The stage acts as our "storage", but the floor has been used for roller skating, scooters, and both girls learned to ride their bikes on this floor. How many kids can say they learned to ride their bike in the house. Our dream was to make this room a game room as well as an activity center for the girls. Here is where we are so far. John got the ping pong table for Father's Day. The pool table and air hockey table are thanks to "Craig's List". We were able to get them at a good price and now our game room is too much fun. It is great because the skates and scooters can still be ridden around the tables because their is plenty of room.
