What's going on?

Oh boy has it been a crazy few months! There has been non stop work going on. Jarrin is done with school now and he had done GREAT and now I am working with Keeley to get her through her first grade work so that she can be in the same grade next year. That will make my life SO much easier and Keeley is doing great and understands everything! Both of there ISAT scores were over double on everything which is great! I was so happy to hear that especially since I am their teacher ;) Keeley is almost half way with most of her work so hopefully we will be all done with it by the end of June. Who knows though. I like to let her have her breaks as she needs them so she doesn't get burned out. If it takes longer...no problem.
After a day of school, lately, I have had hair appointments in the afternoon till evening and then I rush to make dinner and then I try to get my house cleaned up.Then spend time with Brad after the bed time routine is over.Oh, and that includes the 5 times they get out of bed for some odd excuse.
The days I don't have hair appointments, I clean up the downstairs and make dinner and then since I've been on a HUGE sewing craze, I try to get that into my schedule also and then my weekends of course are playtime and prep for my little CTR5 class on Sunday.
I am loving life right now and enjoying all the squishing that I can get in on my little Sawyer. He is getting so big and he is a serious parrot right now copying every sound, word and phrase that comes out of anyone's mouth! So watch what you say ;) I am also loving that my Keeley is so passionate about her creativity and is loving all the new summer dresses that I've made and is also giving me ideas of what to add that she would like. Jarrin is just being such a sweet and loving boy and keeps hugging me and telling me he just loves my spots on my skin (thankfully it's my freckles and not a break out ..hehehe) my red-brown hair my lips and eyes....I know! he's my mushy boy, what can I say! He's going to be a romantic sweet talker!
I also decided it was a great time to start teaching them how to sew. So we have already hit the fabric store to get some material for pillow cases. Jarrin's is a wild African animal one and Keeley, amazingly, picked out fabric that matches the quilt I am making for Christmas PERFECTLY!!
There hasn't been too much outside fun due to our regular downpours, so it's been inside arts and crafts and movies days! Hopefully I will get some cute outdoor activity pictures SOON!
I am so happy that I have the privilege of raising such wonderful spirits and that I have been blessed with an amazing man to help me in that journey. There's just something so nice and comforting knowing that I get to be with them forever!!
That's my life right now! I will post some sewing pictures soon, hopefully!

I'm glad things are going so well! And thanks for the updates on the homeschooling. It really intrigues me, so it's nice to know how it's going.

Sounds busy and fun. Pillow cases is a great idea for a first sew. Fun!

I am excited to see your sewing projects! Good for you for home schooling! Cooper is so excited for school I think he would hate me if I didn't let him go! But we will see after a few years if he still likes it and what is going on in our lives at the same time too! It will be hard with 4 under 5 1/2 years!
