One day, we decided to have a Jammie Day. The kids really enjoy the days that we all stay in our pajamas all day. We hadn't had one in awhile, so Squirrely Girl asked if we could have one.
Our memory verse of the week came was Proverbs 9:10"If you really want to become wise, you must begin by having respect for the Lord.
To know the Holy One is to gain understanding."
To know the Holy One is to gain understanding."
Again, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which my two girls were able to memorize the verse. Squirrely Girl and Miss Bear both brought up the verse throughout the week, and connected how when we read our bible stories and devotions that they are getting to know God better. It really touched my heart to see them strive this week to be more intentional.
We also spent some time a couple of the days at the neighborhood park. Kenzie also spent some time drawing in the sand.
This week, we also made some homemade yogurt in the crockpot... and it was a huge success! We've been eating it for breakfast some mornings with some fresh fruit and yogurt, and for snack we've been making smoothies with it some days! The girls were amazed how the milk turned into yogurt so easily. We'll definitely be making yogurt regularly around here.
The Hubby also plays guitar, and all the kids like to use their guitars to try and play as well. None of them have really learned how to play as of yet, but we're thinking that this is something we will be adding to our week this year!
Bubba was too funny. He refused to smile. I guess he's just working on his rockstar look!
We took a trip to the zoo as well. We walked around and looked at the animals and plants, and talked about how butterflies, bees, and other animals help with pollination. My mother also helped the take apart a flower and look at the pistil and stamens. She was impressed with their knowledge, and Squirrely Girls use of the terms photosynthesis and pollination. All in all, this was a great week! How was your homeschool week? What did you do outdoors?

My kids love jammie days! Looks like a fun week.
Jammie days are the best days. I've always wondered about homemade yogurt in the crockpot. You have reminded me that I wanted to try it.
The yogurt came out wonderfully! I had been saying I was going to try making it forever, and I finally did. It's soooo good, and has really helped to cut our grocery bill some.
