Please don't laugh...too hard

Okay I am being brave and showing everyone this scary picture of myself. One of the reasons it has been so long since I have posted is that I got sick. This doesn't quite show it, but my right eye was all pick and swollen and then it moved into my left eye too. It wasn't pink eye, though, according to the doctor. Then my throat hurt really bad and I just felt horrible. This lasted for a little over a week, the eyes and everything else. So I am finally over it, and I've just been trying to organize my life a little more.
I have decided to homeschool the kids and so I have been trying to figure out my plans in that, and I am trying to organize my housekeeping stuff. I follow a blog where the woman has binders for each aspect of her life, and so I made a housekeeping binder...I followed her plan loosely. And I have also been organizing my recipes and made a recipe/menu planning/shopping list binder. So I have been busy. If you want to check out the blog just click here. She is also doing the same Homeschooling method that I am: Charlotte Mason Approach.

Pictures of Our Life: Part 1

These are just some random pictures of what our days are like...Yes the kids do stay in pjs for a lot of the day.

They are all "helping" with the dishes. Or maybe they are just dropping random things in the water. I couldn't resist this picture...I love their cute little bums.

We went for a walk in a neighborhood with large homes and lots of land. We found this stream and bridge with a path. The kids loved it. Spencer and Kaden enjoyed climbing the rock wall. I was a little nervous watching them but I'm glad I let them do it. They were so proud of themselves.

I'm trying to get them out into nature more...it is a lot harder then I thought it would be. Especially in the winter. It takes a lot more time getting them all dressed for a walk outside...More so since they do like to get dressed in clothes unless we are going somewhere.

Addy enjoying pizza. This is a recipe that my mom always used to make and I love it! Sometimes it's not the prettiest looking pizza but it is good...and messy.
