Our new Corda-Roy's

Everybody in the family loves our new "beanbag" chair. It does not have the Styrofoam filling instead it has a bed inside for when we have guests. Hopefully my nephew will be sleeping on it in the spring.


Don't I have the cutest family in the world?

Farm fun


We use the power wheels to do farm chores. Today we cleaned the chicken coops and used the Gator to get the mess to the compost pile.
Daddy fixed them both. The four wheeler was bought broke and he figured out how to fix it. The gator only had slow forward so he used a power wheel we got for the dump for parts and now it has more speeds then it had from the factory. I couldn't be prouder.

This was science class last week. We went magnet fishing. We learned about magnet poles. What magnets stick to. We also learned about force and angles because you need to be able to throw it directly at a fish. The joys of homeschooling.
