100th day of Homeschool

On Friday we had our 100th day of homeschool.  We had a lot of fun things planned and did all but one.  Our first 100 days of homeschool went nothing like I imagined.  It started out really rough.  Deciding to switch curriculum to work for each kid was the best decision I made.  Watching these two grow academically has been my absolute favorite part of having them home every day with me.

Our first activity to kick off our day was to spend 100 minutes at the park.  Now, when you go planning to spend such a long time at the park, it's really hard.  Time crept by.  There was about 30 minutes left when they were both ready to leave, so I switched things up and we went to the trail behind the park and walked around a creek and climbed rocks.

Little monkey

She wasn't a fan of the ropes.  She did a gazillion pull overs on the bars though.  She takes a long minute to warm up to trying new things and after many attempts, I finally got her to do it.  Then she wouldn't stop.

He was so nervous to go through the floating tunnel

They were both tired and hot

They played hard, but we still had 30 minutes left

So we headed to climb rocks instead.

We grabbed lunch at Chic-fil-a and then headed home to continue the fun.

First up were our t-shirts

I even joined in the fun.  You can never have too many pajama shirts 😊.  I'd gotten a sunburn on my head from the park.

Xander's finished shirt.  This boy is such a perfectionist that it slows him down and makes him indecisive.  So, Sterling and I helped him out a bit.  She drew hearts and I drew stars.

After our shirts were done, we grabbed some Lego's and made the number 100.  Sterling's 1st attempt.

I like how Xander used all round pieces for his number one.

After Sterling saw Xander's she wanted to make a stacked number 100.  I love the little hook off her one!

Then it was time for the 100 cup tower challenge.

This is not as easy as you'd think.  On the carpet it kept falling over.  So we moved it up to the desk.

We did it!

And then Xander wanted to blow it over.  It didn't budge so he punched it.  He thought it was pretty cool that after he punched one cup out, it stayed standing for almost a minute before falling down.

My favorite activity was watching them create their art.  I still don't understand the message behind Xander's message on the grandpa's shirt, "Grandpa's got to do it"  I was instructed to write it in fancy writing.  I'm not good at that though, but he still really liked it.

Sterling said she was going to wear a dress when she's a grandma and have short hair like Nana.  So, I was surprised when she came out with long hair.  

Last up was our Fruit Loop necklace and bracelets.

We had so much fun, now we only have 80 days left of school.  Yah!

Have a great day.
