Miss Artsy

This little girl loves to do "projects". She is constantly wanting to glue something or color something. It is fun to see her learn this way but also a little tiring to try and keep up with fun things for her to do! Here she is decorating a super lame butterfly that I tried to draw for her. She ended up not liking it. I think it was my drawing skills.



Her all time favorite thing to do is fingerpaint. She would fingerpaint all day every day if mom had the patience and energy. She cracked us up one day when she was riding her bike. I said, "Macy you are riding your bike really great today!" She said, "Yeah, and I really love to fingerpaint."



She is a total mess when she does it and just likes to smear all the colors together. Thankfully it all washes off easily! She is a blessing to us.

Where We Are Now

We have had quite the switcheroo around here lately. A couple weeks ago, we received a phone call from one of the charter schools in town. We had put Logan in the lottery before kindergarten in case we chose putting him in school. He never got in which we were totally okay with. We ended up homeschooling him and it was a great experience. Well, they called because a family had moved and he was next on the waiting list. What to do was the question. We were enjoying homeschool but also thought it would be a fun experience for him to go to a school for the last month. We ended up putting him in and he is really enjoying it. But, alas, now is the question of what to do next year. We really love the school that he is in. Of all the school choices in our town, it is the one we like the best. They are a secular school, but they stress kindness, compassion and are vigilant against bullying. There are so many things I want to impart to our son and I see it being more difficult to be an influence in his life when he is gone so much of the day. However, we have a Macy factor. She is receiving speech therapy through the school system now and we are trying to decide if the best thing for her would be to continue on in the school system or learn at home. We are in process of making our decision. We lean toward homeschool but we will make our final decision hopefully early this summer.
