Did you know.....

that it is so much easier to do your schoolwork when upside down?


Just ask Madison.



I know the picture is kind of fuzzy but I'm still learning....
please ignore the messy floor she feels the need to spread everything around her while working..

Also my couch? Apparently it is very good for practicing standing on your head.



Standing on heads and rolling apparently....


Seriously I don't normally let them play on the furniture like that but we were having one of those days that the kids were kind of getting away with things because I was enjoying watching them have some fun.

I really need to get the curtains up, don't I? Honestly though when the sun is out we get awesome light from there so I haven't really worried about it yet. Also? We live in the middle of nowhere on an island so really it's not like we have to worry about nosy neighbors looking in our windows.

Oh and guess what I bought for myself today? Raingear! I didn't think it was something I'd really get into but seriously we live in a rainforest people! The homeschooled kids are in a science class this month 2 days a week at the Discovery Center which they are loving but on Fridays we do a hike and last Friday it was pouring! Jeans and tons of rain are not a good match when you are trying to hike and keep your pants up at the same time!But the hike is worth it for scenes like this...



and this



and one of my favorite things about living here?



I love Eagles!!
