Classroom Renovation!!

As a homeschooling family of 4 boys, we spend a large amount of time crafting, inventing, coloring, painting and learning in our classroom. Up until recently, the room was quite an eyesore of raveling, stained carpet, littered with play doh bits, paper scraps and everything else imaginable! 

A slight water leak finally necessitated an overhaul for the entire room. We had to pull everything out (carpet included) and redo the entire room! The boys had fun dancing in the empty concrete floor room!
Since we had everything pulled out, we decided to paint the classroom with fun colors (leftovers from the boys' rooms). The boys got in on the painting action!


The room in progress... notice my Young Living Essential Oils diffuser:) We diffused Thieves to clean the air and mold. You can also diffuse peppermint while painting to get rid of paint fumes!
 The floor is starting to go in! 
We're thankful for this hand-me-down flooring that was in awesome condition!
Renovation complete!


Now for the classroom organization!!

Already making messes!!

The little guys love their magnetic chalk board!




lots of books, manipulatives and craft supplies

I'm so thankful the boys are starting to feel better and the weather is nice again! I feel like all is well with the world again when we can get outside to play! Here are some fun pics from our day:)

Fun Fall Pics!

We are really enjoying this Fall weather! The boys LOVE playing and exploring in our new backyard...especially the bamboo forest!! 



 

 My sweet boys!!
Also thankful for trips to the ASU Farmers Market and fun days with my guys:) 

We're trying to get organized in our new home (moved in less than 2 weeks ago...it's a process:). The homeschooling room is coming together!


We have been blessed to move into a great neighborhood! Our street had a costume parade and chili and s'mores this Monday. We really enjoyed meeting our new neighbors... and my little superheroes loved getting candy!
