1st day of Joy School

So today was our first day of Joy School at home with the girls. Everything always seems to go smoother in your mind then when you actually try to do it. Gabriela was totally into and kept telling me,"I love school." Sophia, on the other hand, was hit and miss. She was bouncing from here to there but would come back and join us when it fit her fancy. They like the crafts and stories and I think it will be way more fun once we get into the real lessons next week. We ended with this fun craft and a bike ride. You shave crayons using a potato peeler, put them inside a folded piece of paper, and then iron it. (If you do this, make sure you put the white paper inbetween some thicker paper to prevent it from getting on your iron.) They turned out way cute and the girls loved them. With that being said, I think I'm going to start posting some of our craft ideas on my Family Fun blog from here on out. It will be back up and running and hopefully worth you time to look at.
