10 pictures from our day, Monday, October 10, 2016.

Reading my Bible wrapped up in a blanket because it was 62 degrees in the house when I woke up!

While I get ready for the day (before the kids are up) I listen to an audiobook or podcast. This is a podcast I've been enjoying lately.

My breakfast - veggies and chicken sausage. I have been doing the AIP (auto-immune protocol) diet for almost a month now and have seen some improvements in my health. It's just been in recent years that studies have shown that Endometriosis is similar to autoimmune diseases. Very interesting.

We love homeschooling!

The weather has been beautiful and we have been outside enjoying it!

Asher and Ezra.

Our current read aloud book.

Ava helped herself to the leftover mac and cheese. 

He got himself stuck. Ha!

Asher heading to Grammie's for a sleepover. My in-laws were out of town last weekend so Lily and Levi took turns spending the night with their aunt. Even though Grammie and Grandpa are home now, Asher and Ava are insisting they get a turn spending the night too. :)

Have a great day!

Quiet time and grocery list making.

We have no shortage of bowl lickers around here!

Ezra waiting on his breakfast.

Lily brought me morning glories.

Make-shift drums.

Grocery shopping with my boys.

Ava is such a good kitchen helper!

Food prep on the weekend for the next week is a lifesaver for me! I usually prepare breakfasts for the week, wash and cut fruit and veggies, boil eggs, spiralize veggies, bake sweet potatoes for Ezra, make protein balls and/or granola bars for snacks, etc. 

Guess Who is the current favorite game here :)

This precious boy is almost 1 year old!

10 snapshots from our day - August 10, 2016.

After my quiet time with Jesus each morning, I try to read a few pages of a book before the kids get up. 

Yummy breakfast!

When we bought our mobile home, there were these two black frames on the wall in the living room. Jacob painted the inside of each with chalkboard paint so we have been using them for Lily to do math fact practice and spelling words- so fun! And yes, she's had a growth spurt and all her summer clothes are getting short and snug! ha

Our homeschool routine is that we do Morning Time first and then Ezra goes down for a nap and Asher and Ava go play (in the living room, outside, or in the girl's room) and I do school with Lily and Levi. It's working so well for us! Asher and Ava are the best playmates!

Mama's mid-morning boost!

I love the sweet snuggles I get with my baby boy!

Reading time.

Afternoon nap.

Oh the selfies I find on my phone - mama's sunglasses and earrings. ha

Sweet potato "noodles" - I love my Spiralizer!!

**I just realized that Levi published my unfinished post yesterday! AHH! Oops.

10 pictures from our day on July 10, 2016 - actually 3 of the pictures are from the 11th because the 10th was a Sunday and I didn't get 10 pictures taken. ha!

I love writing scripture passages each day!

Morning coffee in my cute mug my sweet husband got me.

Playing legos at Grammie's after dinner.

Ava pretending church :)

10 pictures from our day - June 10, 2016.

Beautiful sunrise on my way to the gym.

This girl loves crafting.

Ava "cleaning" with baby wipes. haha

Happy baby after his morning nap.

Ava thought WD-40 was good to use for gas for her car. (Please don't worry, it has been put far out of reach now!)

Popcorn and reading in the shade!

Supper - grilled burger, fresh veggies and roasted brussel sprouts. Yummy!

We had quite the fiasco during our evening walk - I opened the van to get the bigger stroller out (the umbrella stroller doesn't do very well on the bumpy road) and it fell out and smashed my shin. Ouch! I got Ezra strapped in the stroller and then walked a few feet away to fasten Levi's shoes. While my back was turned, Lily started pushing Ezra in the stroller (which is usually no problem) but we didn't realize that the front wheel was locked and when she started pushing him, it wouldn't turn and the whole stroller fell over on it's side. Lily started shrieking and I whirled around and ran over to where Ezra was hanging by the seat belts and got the stroller righted. Ahhh! I didn't know what was wrong with the stroller wheel, so we put Ezra in the umbrella stroller and proceeded to go on our walk. The kids were running ahead (again, something they always do) and all of the sudden Levi was on the ground screaming. I ran to him and realized that he had fallen in a hole (actually a large pipe in the ground by a neighbor's water meter) up to his thigh and his shoe was stuck. After a lot of finagling I got his foot out of the shoe and then got the shoe out. I decided we should just turn around and head home before anything else happened to us. Ha! Well, just as I said that, Ava took off running in her pants and flip flops and got all tripped up and face planted on the rough road. Seriously! 

A little reading before bed.

Ready to call it a night!
