The weather cooled off, but kicked back up... it's been 80s - 90s most days for two weeks! School is in full swing. This school year has started very smooth! I'm hoping it's not the calm before the storm. I read an amazing book this summer about homeschooling younger children. Between the tips in that book and joining our new co-op, we are feeling confident and having fun!
Memory Board: Each week, we put up new information to memorize and learn about,
in addition to math, reading, and writing.
Hobo spider we caught... I learned afterwards it was a hobo spider. *shudder*
We have since sprayed our home with a homemade concoction. We plan to buy a powder to sprinkle around our home and put screens over the two exhaust holes that go between the laundry room and the outside.
We decided to take a break and play in the rain after math.
Spokane Fair
Yummy fair food!
Rides
Motorcycles for sale... I couldn't stop Rilie from climbing on, so I took a picture.
Look at these horns!
How did I manage to get everyone looking! I guess they did that, huh?
Rodeo Time! My boys had never seen a rodeo before, it was a lot of fun. Rilie and Jackson lasted 1.5 hours. I was very proud of them.

Her horse is 35 years old and galloped around that ring like it was nothing!
