Home School Conference

We got a chance to go to a home school convention and book fair a while back. While we were "in town" LeCount did an open check at a movie theater. While we waited in the car for him to get finished, I gave the girls hamburgers and french fries. Morgan always amazes me because she is so tiny, but yet, she wants to do everything that the big kids are doing. So here she is with a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger. In her hand, it looks like one of those big adult sized hamburgers!!

After LeCount was done with the check, we went on to the home school convention. There were a lot of vendors and good information. Next time, we will have to get a sitter so that we get a chance to get in on some of the seminars. I found a lot of good books and materials for Jaden (and Morgan eventually). I will be blogging later about the ones that I decide to use. I will be picking up a textbook for Jaden later this week. Of course, she has plenty to keep her busy right now as she is working on 5 different workbooks (and several free printables). During the day when all of the kids are here, I use the free printables. It is easier that way to make several copies for everyone since I don't have a copier. In fact here are some links to more printables: http://www.coloring-book.info/coloring/ (this one has famous characters to color, including Jaden's favorite character for the moment~Franklin). Today, I used this link: http://printables.familyeducation.com/ to print off coloring pages for the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". I read the book to them first, and then, they painted the 3 coloring pages. And, this is where I get my alphabet letter print outs: http://www.starfall.com/n/N-info/abcprint.htm?n=abc We started the letters on Monday, and we are doing a letter a day.
