One of the joys of home schooling is being able to learn wherever and whenever we like. Today we took a field trip, of sorts, to Starbucks. The girls packed up their back packs..
including their Nintendo's.:)
We brought the current book that we are studying as part of our English curriculum. I am enjoying it, but the girls- not so much. sigh... Well, anything is fun at Starbucks!
We all chose our favorite beverages. Mandy really enjoys the "Naked" brand of juice and all the nutrition that it provides. Plus, she tells me that it tastes great (except the Protein one- yuck).
Katie loves the chocolate milk...
and I really enjoy their Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade- mmmm... Heather- it's almost as good as Mountain Dew!:)
There were two chocolate cupcakes left! But not for long.:)

Lori-- you stopped by my blog, and I was so happy! THANK YOU, you are very sweet! I LOVE your blog, and had so much fun checking it out. It's so sweet, cute, creative, and interesting! What a treat to read! I love it! I can't wait to keep coming back!

Hi Lori-- it's me again :) I just left you another comment as well, and forgot to mention this.... You had asked about Coraline...well, my daughter and husband went and I didn't. My daughter is 11 and absolutely LOVED it,and wants to go again really bad. My husband loved it too and said he's go again as well. He did say there were a few parts that were sort of scary because of witches and ghosts, other than that, it isn't too scary or bad. But, some of our friends/neighbors took their 5 year old daughter, and she got pretty scared three different times during the movie they said. My husband also said it was amazing and to be sure to go to the 3-D version if it's offered at your movie theater. It might cost a tad more, but he said definitely worth it! Hope this helps :)

Lori, sounds like you had a very fun outing with the girls!! Some days you just need ones like that!
That is my kind of day! I take a field trip to Starbucks at least 3 times a week~ It's the "Seattle" thing to do ya know~!
Looks like you guys had a great time... The cupcakes look great but I'm telling you what...I've never tasted ANYTHING better then the gluten free chocolate cupcakes I made the other day-Unreal how perfect they are! Even if I could eat flour I wouldn't because these cupcakes are AMAZING! I wish you could taste one...
Have a great weekend! How's the book coming along? I'm reading Pride a Prejudice right now.

you know, I wasn't tempted to go to Starbucks because it isn't cold here today...that is until I got to the cupcakes.....YUMMMMMMMMM!
What a fun day!
Yum! Sure sounds like a fun time to me! Hope you have a great weekend! Blessings, Karen
Now that's what I call a field trip! Those cupcakes look wonderful!!!
Hi Lori
Your field trip sounds great. Reading books and enjoying Starbucks sounds wonderful. I will not be letting Jessica see this post. Homeschooling is becoming very attractive to her just recently!
Your lovely package arrived today. Thank you so much. I will try to e-mail later. It's not been working most of the day.
Have a great weekend.

My favorite kind of schooling!! I might have to try it at Starbucks next time!!
Elise
Now THAT is my kind of field trip!!! Take me next time! :)
That is absolutely the essence of homeschooling! Love it!
That's what I miss most about homeschooling--having it where ever and whenever we want!
I love the shaken iced tea, too!!
I am stuck on the NAKED juices too! UGH, made the mistake of tasting the Protein one, I shudder at the memory!
Smiles,
Michelle
