Yesterday after finishing our school work the kids and I started painting Cats room. The had a GREAT time.. we hope to finish it today or tomorrow :)
Our Roses have just been beautiful this spring. Here are two pictures from the back yard :)
Above is a shot of the kids flower garden.. in the very top you can see morning glory the larger ones just below are sunflower (mammoth) and the foreground are Zenia's :) cant wait to see if they keep growing and bloom! 
Here a picture of the kids artwork. This is done with little plastic beads and then you iron it to have it stay together. The had a great time.Our school work is going great.. heres an update:
Bible: Reading about Joshua and how the Kings of Cannon were plotting to attack him. God sent hail stones down during a battle. The stones killed more men than the swords of the Isrealites. (whoever said reading the Bible is boring has never read it)
Read aloud: We are almost finished with our book "Cricket in Times Square" and will start "Bridge to Terabithia" when we are done.
Spelling:Joseph worked from his spelling book. Cat worked on line on this site.
Math- math-u-see is flying by. Nate is now adding three digit money. Jo is working on perimeter and area (and when it stops raining I told him the could find the area and perimeter of our backyard) ..Cat is in multiple digit loooong division. :)
English, and handwriting were completed yesterday as well.. (today will be some Latin and History)
Extra:
The other night it thundered right above out house.. scaring myself, the dog, and Cat out of bed at 3 am. I was so frightened (getting woken out of dead sleep) that I was shaking all over. The next morning we were talking about what had happened and how it took me for ever to go back to sleep because of the adrenaline rush.. Cat asked what adrenaline actually was.. we discussed it but we will actually "study" it today.
We are in the process of remodeling out bathroom so I had Cat help figure square footage on our bathroom to find out how much tile we would need.
When Nate scraped his knee the other day he asked "mom, are we cold blooded or warm blooded?" of course the answer ended up being a discussion..
Another funny thing Nate said yesterday morning. "Mom, the other night I stayed awake until I fell asleep!"
Lots more to tell but not the time..board games played, songs sung, cleaning and organizing done.. but.. the unfinished half purple room awaits us this morning and we still have to get out school work done.
