More Snow Pictures











Snow!! In March!!! I Can't Believe It!


We woke up to a big surprise this morning! When ever they say it's going to snow we never believe them. We ended up getting 2 to 4 inches. It never snows this late in North Carolina. Someone forgot that this is the Southeast. Even though we homeschool, we took a day off. The teacher needs a day off every now and then. And I don't won't to drive them crazy. We work pretty hard at keeping our schedule. How about you? Did you get any snow in your area?

More Pictures of Our Puppy



His name is Rocky

Our New Addition

For Christmas, my kids decided they wanted a puppy.
Isn't he cute? He sure eats a lot. Since Christmas, he's grown quite a bit. My son is really doing well with the responsibility. I'm so excited about that, because, in the past, good ol' mom has been the one to get up early in the morning to walk the canine. He's pretty smart and he keeps us entertained. I'm less concerned that the kids will get bored. A concern of some homeschooling parents who's kids are home a lot. They have extracurricular activities often, but they do get tired of being home. A pet is a great way to learn to be responsible for another living thing. Now, if I could just get my daughter to be more enthusiastic about the not so fun parts of having a dog. :-)
