Math: They completed 4 lessons in MLFLE.  Anthony is almost finished with Level 6.  I have been looking at Rod and Staff.  We might try that when he finishes.

Other Activities this Week:

Tuesday: I decided to go ahead and take Lily to the Physical Therapist to see what she would say.  She has an issue with her hips and feet that is putting stress on her knees when she lands in gymnastics.  She was given 6 different exercises to do at home to strengthen her muscles. Right after the therapy appointment the girls had gymnastics.  Lily wore a brace and her teacher spotted her on the back tucks and she did fine.  As soon as gymnastics was over we had soccer.  There were 2 games scheduled one at 6 and one at 8 for Christian's team.  They were supposed to play the same team both times.  But, after our team won the game at 6 the opposing team decided to leave and not show up for the game that was scheduled at 8.  There always has to be drama....

Wednesday we had to babysit Liam for a few hours.  Chelsea brought him to the church because I had to be up there getting ready for Kids Club.  He loved the music! 

Thursday Lily had piano and Emmie had dance.  Lily and I have been walking at the park while Emmie is in class.  Right after dance Christian had a soccer game.

Friday was Frontier Days For Homeschoolers at Historic Washington State Park.  We have been many times, but the children (especially the girls) still enjoy going.  Nick did not come with us because we left while he was in class, but Chelsea and Liam did.  We got to do some of our favorite things (the surrey ride and candle dipping) and did a few things we hadn't done before.  We only stayed about 3 hours.  It was very hot and the baby was tired.

Saturday Art and I went to Lowes to buy a new stove.  My oven door was broken last week, shattered into a million pieces.  The stove we had was 32 years old and we have had to replace may parts regularly, so it was time for a new one.

I hope you had a great week!

Happy Homeschooling!
