School Dayz: International Homeschool Spirit Week ~Tuesday thru Thursday

Tuesday was "Homeschool Away from Home" Day

Well, we were in a little bit of a predicament! Last year we went to the park in town and really enjoyed that. But this year, Dan's Jeep was in the shop getting some work done, which meant he needed the van for work, which left us without a vehicle!!

So, we used "vehicles" of another sort! :)

We loaded our backpacks and rode bike from our house to the library in town (3.7 miles one way)

Leaving our house

Biking down 69 South

Our study table at the library!

Tamara found a more comfortable seat to read her science book!

After the school work was done, we browsed and read library books.

Before heading home, we rode down the street to a convenience store and bought candy bars for energy on the ride home since it was almost lunch time! :)

Tamara does not enjoy exercise too much, but winning a game pack from CurrClick made it all worthwhile, she said!!! :) :) I told her I think we should do this every week. She was not impressed! ;) It was a good day though and another memory made!

Wednesday was "Crazy Hair Day"

We had cut Danny's hair the night before and here's just one picture of the fun we had.....

I told him he reminds me of a monk! :)

So for crazy hair day, he found a braided hairpiece in Tamara's "dress up box" :)

For Tamara, we took a wire hanger apart and gave her "Pippi" braids! :) It was so funny because she couldn't walk through doorways straight on, she had to go through sideways!! :D

Thursday was "Volunteer Outside Your Home Day"

Well, you know the predicament we had with no vehicle on Tuesday. By Thursday, Dan got his Jeep back, but then a noise that had started in the van got a lot worse. The mechanic thinks it is the power steering pump, but he said we could still drive it. Well, Wed. night on the way hoe from church, the power steering seized up and that scared me from driving it.

So, we decided to pick up trash on our dirt road.

Danny just picked up cans, and Tamara and I picked up glass beer bottles and paper trash.

Some places the brush was too thick to get back into the trash! :(

Danny was good at spotting trash and if it was back in farther off the road, he was so kind to bring it out to the road for us!!

We did find some beauty among the trash!! :)

Almost back. Our bags were getting heavy. Between Tamara and myself, we picked up over 20 glass beer bottles!! And our road is not even very long!! :( It's sad that people are so sloppy and feel so free to litter!!
