Home School Ice Skating Party

Today we got to go ice skating.  This was the kids first time ice skating and they loved it.  It took Emma a while to warm up to the idea, but eventually trusted me enough to really enjoy herself.  But let me tell you, it was not easy trying to hold up three kids who are learning to skate.  Add to that, myself being on skates, which I am not that good at.  But we had a lot of fun! Then we went to pizza hut and used our free pizza coupons for the Book It program.  It amazes me that this program is still around.  They had this when I was a kid.  You read a certain amount each month and then you get a free pizza!  Pretty awesome if you ask me.  Hailey kept saying over and over again, "Mom, this was the best day!  We got to go ice skating and eat pizza!"  Oh, bringing joy to the hearts of children, one heart at a time ;)!

That picture of Emma holding onto that cone is SO CUTE! I really admire you for homeschooling, and I also agree that ice skating and pizza in one day would be a way fun day!

That is amazing that you took three kids ice skating. We took two...we being CHRIS AND I, and we were really busy trying to keep bums off the ice as it was!

Hey, how do you do book-it if you are homeschooling?? I asked about it but they said you have to be in school!! I would LOVE to know if there is a way around that!
