The last 7 days has been days of busyness!  Friday Keilee went to a lock in with Maddie Grace where she slept NONE.  Sunday night her best friend from K-5th grade spent the night with her.  Keilee and Lyvvy are reconnecting after a couple of years of not talking.  It was so awesome to hear them talking and laughing all night.  Monday night Sophie spent the night with her and we went to Pt. Mallard on Tuesday.

Instagram fun with Lyv and Sophie.

Keilee auditioned for Aristocats and got the role she wanted; the Duchess!  She is so excited to be back with her College Street Players doing a play.  Some of her best friends in the entire world are in the cast and she is geeked!

The is the first play she has ever been in that she was an ‘older kid’.  There are already several little girls who are enamored with her.  It is so sweet.

Keilee continues to do A LOT of Art Journaling.  She loves quotes just like her Mama does. 🙂  I LOVE her fox!

It has been beautiful and I took Kei outside for pictures.  She is at the age where she thinks every picture of her is ‘horrible’.  Why do girls do this?  Why do girls have such a negative image of themselves?  I wonder if it is things I have done or said.  I have always told her she was beautiful and wonderful so I am not sure if it is just an ‘age’ thing or what.  I always thought we would avoid that because we homeschooled but no such luck.

I read a survey once that says teenage girls think they look worse than they do and teenage boys think they look better.  It is definitely a strange age and just because we homeschool doesn’t mean we don’t face some of the same issues.

This weeks theme on “7 Cool Homeschoolers” was What is on your iDevice.  Check out some of her favorite apps below.

This next week is going to be insane for us.  Keilee is looking so forward to it and I am dreading it.  It is strange how the same events can cause different responses.  Keilee is teaching at an Art/Drama/Music/Dance Camp and I am helping from 9-2 each day. Then Keilee is taking an After Hours Theater Camp from 3-6.  Then we have practice from 6:30-8:30.  Whew!

Stay cool everyone.  Summer is in full force here in Alabama, I don’t care what the calendar says!

Homeschooling Rocks!
