Loving This Homeschool Blog!

Haven't posted in quite awhile (to be exact almost 3 months), but we had our third baby girl the day after my last post on October 5!! Needless to say, with 3 young girls, life is busy! But I had to make a quick post to up my chances of this great giveaway on this blog. Check it out:

Isabelle's Halloween Costume

Here she is all dressed up. And, she went to the grocery store with me all dressed up too--I so admire her confidence! What a fantastic little girl!

Isabelle earned this ladybug farm recently. Here she is setting it up:
