We discovered these Katie books at a consignment shop and have been lucky to collect quite a few in the series. Of course, my Katie loves them! They are delightful books that follow the imaginative adventures of Katie into the world of art and historical places.

Every day, Katie asks if we can do art first.

Every day, I tell her we have to do math and reading and history and science first.

Currently, Katie’s other favorite thing is Song School Spanish. Review coming up soon!

Art is her favorite subject! I use this as an incentive to get her to cooperate with the other subjects. We try to incorporate arts and crafts into everything we do for her since she loves it so much.

Here’s a picture Katie drew the other day with markers of my cherry limeade drink. Even though the straw is floating, I was impressed by the 3D lid.

We got Katie and Tori a guitar for Christmas. They’d been begging and we’re going through the lessons on Schoolhouse Teachers. Katie is also teaching herself to play piano. We use the KinderBach app and My First Piano Adventure. I am amazed at her musical ability. She’s always singing or humming.

Little brother Alex wants to do everything his sisters do. Here, Katie and Alex are painting with watercolors. These two don’t often get along.

Alex also joined his sisters here with their Harmony Fine Arts lesson. They drew Giotto angels with chalk pastels.

Everything Katie does, she does it with style. Vacuuming is so much easier when you’re wearing a princess dress!

Katie is our free spirit. She thinks outside the box. She excels at everything she does. She can already read chapter books and she’s not even 6 yet. She soaks up knowledge. I pray that she grows up and does radical and amazing things for God.

She is a delightful child and brings us so much joy.
