2013-10-30_023It was so easy doing preschool with Ryan and then with Erik.  I just assumed that while I taught Ryan and Erik, Megan would do all the ‘engaging’ activities I could think of.  It wasn’t working.  We were all frustrated.  So today we walked down the street to a home preschool taught by a lady at our church.  It takes about 5 min. for us to take a casual walk there.  Megan loved it.  Mommy, Ryan, and Erik loved it.  It was only one day, but I think we are onto something!  Thanks Anne for pushing me!

Apples, Apples

We finished up our apple unit.  Erik really wanted to learn about apples so we could go back to the apple farm.
