May

Remember the caterpillars that Kayley got way back in September? (See below). Well, she did it! Both caterpillars survived the winter, hatched and turned into gorgeous polyphemous moths.

She barely got a chance to discover they had hatched before she also learned that one must've been a boy, the other a girl...because they promptly looked at each other through their lashes and the female laid eggs. LOL.

We also finally finished up our school year. At times it felt like we were crawling to the finish line, but both girls wrapped up the 3rd and and 7th grades respectively.

We are looking forward to summer!

Miscellany

I know it has been a long time since I blogged! It just seems that life keeps getting busier and busier!

Over the last couple of months the girls just keep plugging away at school in our quieter pockets of time while we have stayed extremely busy in other pockets!

They have enjoyed doing several science experiments.

Kayley transformed herself into a unicorn.

We went to the Kids Safe Expo again this year.

We always enjoy it!

The girls enjoyed meeting Abby Dyer from KY3.

They also had an opportunity to learn some gun safety and practice shooting at a target.

We found this random turkey egg in our backyard.

At least, we think it is a turkey egg!

Kayley also had a chance to go roller skating for the first time.

She was pretty good at it!

She also made about 247,982 batches of cookie dough for her girls camp fundraiser!

We also enjoyed a great family workday cutting down trees and splitting firewood!

Easter 2019

Well. The Easter Bunny outdid himself again this year. (Thanks to Papa!)

He created a huge maze of yard through the yard and house. Each girl had to follow their particular string to find the goodies at the end!

Disney World 2019

We enjoyed a trip to Disney World this month! This would be considered our summer vacation, since we generally try to go on vacation when everyone else is in school. While we don't necessarily homeschool through the summer, we do not typically travel anywhere since things are busy and it is hot. We had a great time, spending 5 days at the parks. Here are a few pictures of our fun week!

First & last ride always involved the bus. WDW does a pretty good job of transportation. It was nice to just hop on the bus and go from place to place.
