Tom the Turtle Activities and Mother’s Day

Conner and I have been working on Tom the Turtle activities all week…and it’s been so much fun!  I think it’s so important for me to help my growing preschooler instead of just relying on others to teach writing,

math,

reading,

and problem solving.

Because, then I get to see the results for myself.  And they are oh so rewarding.

I use Confessions of a Homeschooler A LOT and print off all kinds of pages of activities and Conner and I work on them every week.

We don’t just work all the time, though. For Mother’s Day we got to go fishing!!  Yes, I know….that sounds like such a Father’s Day  thing to do, but we really did have a lot of fun. For some reason, the kids were more interested in the four wheelers than the fish.  *sigh* So much for those great photo moments.

Somehow, my mom ended up cooking on Mother’s Day.  Doesn’t seem very fair, does it?

She did, however, catch the biggest fish, so maybe that made up for it!

…which was almost as big as Gage!

My boys love to fish….for about ten minutes.  The biggest “boy” could fish all day if I’d let him, though!

I’d post a picture of my big catch….if I had caught any.  I told Chris I’d rather be taking pictures and capturing the moments than catching fish that I just throw back into the water.  He’s starting to think I was lying when I told him how much I loved to fish back before we got married!
