Yikes, we did it! Our house is finally listed for sale. I thought I would share a few pictures of it because I have been talking about it for months as we have been getting it ready to sell.
You know I like things not so cluttered, but I still had to move out a good amount of stuff for pictures. Plus you know I have been sharing pictures with you as my furniture sells. So I have to constantly rearrange furniture so we can have a place to sit and do school,etc.

I love our saltwater pool with waterfalls. It is a tranquil place outside. |
This is part of my front living room area. |

I cleared off my kitchen stuff for the picture, but my kitchen is basically open to the rest of the house. Though I don’t know this picture might make it look small, but it is a bit bigger. |
I love my office and this is my “sanctuary” and place where I blog to you from. I had to close one shutter because the light was too blinding for the picture, but I LOVE light and I normally have both shutters wide open. |
Those are just a few pictures. As soon as I take some more, I will share them with you.
In between getting ready for that and 1001 things you need to do to get ready for a big move, we have been trying to scoot along on our Ocean Unit Study.
I have been determined to school as long as we can because I know we will have one longggggggg interruption and I think I have come to peace with that notion.
Why are we our own worst enemies when it comes to meting out grace for ourselves?
Today, I have vocabulary words ready for our Ocean Unit Study along with a wave pocket.
Remember I try to aim a lot of my lapbooks for about middle school age if I can. It’s so easy to find printables and projects on this subject for the younger grades, but tough to find hands-on things as our kids hit the middle grades to high school. I am determined to keep it both fun and hands-on all the way to high school.
Ocean Unit Study: Vocabulary Words
So I do use cursive font and try to steer away from babyish looking clip art where possible to keep lapbooking likable for the older kids too.
Tiny also decided to do some coloring on this lapbook for a cover page. I will share that in an upcoming post too.

Hey Cyndi,
I ALWAYS love your comments! Please do save them and remember that most of my units you can up and down in grade level. Many of them you will find that you can use for younger kids too. Thanks for your sweet thoughts and prayers for our move!! We are just waiting on a buyer now!! Yipppeee and hopefully it will go fast after that. On second thought, not sure if I want it to go that fast..lol

Hi Phyllis,
You are JUST so very welcome! I think I am going to miss my house, but that is pretty normal for moving too. It’s exciting to think about the possibilities.
Too, I love what you are doing on your blog with your children and I know we share kindred spirits of geography and history. Thanks for following, it means a lot!
