We finished it!!!

 
I am not a puzzle person. I, embarrassing enough, have a hard time doing children's puzzles! While we were up in Canada visiting My mom and dad, we worked on this puzzle together. The kids and I did it all by ourselves! We were so excited! Yay!

Happy Valentines Day!







I hope everyone is having a great Valentines Day. We're eating waaay too much chocolate, but it has been fun!! I took the kids out to Lowes and had them make their own treasure boxes. We were supposed to meet a friend there, but somehow that didn't work out. It was still great for the kids to make their boxes. It is a great place to put all their Valentine Candy!

The Sacrifice of Nyammah...

 

Josiah and Joshua were in the teen's dessert theatre this year. The play was called "The Sacrifice of Nyammah. Here is Josiah's synopsis of the play: It is about this girl who lost her families’ corn doll. The evil druids wanted to kill her for it. N’yahmah and her friends go looking for the corn doll. They find out from an old woman named fawn that the leprechaun had stolen it. They go to Mount Knashega to find it. I play a leprechaun named Lord Seamus. In the end, we give her back the corn doll, the druids turn into bread and we all live happily ever after.

They did a great job and had a lot of fun doing it. The proceeds from the play went to their youth accounts. They earned money for summer camp this summer.

International fair

 


The kids did a great job at the International Fair. They did Ancient Egypt. They had fun making mummies, pyramids and hyroglyphics. (how do you spell that word?!) I love having a venue where the kids can display what they have been working on. It is fun for them to tell others, as well as look at the other displays that other home schooled kids have done. Usually there is a taste of each country as well. We had dates with an almond honey paste rolled inside. They were very good!

Denny's Free Grand Slam Breakfast!

 

My friend Lori and I went to Denny's for their free Grand Slam Breakfast. We took our kids along. It was a bit crazy! We had to wait in line for two hours!!! The kids did great though. They were troopers. They got to chat with their best friends for the whole time. Then we had a great lunch! We had come for breakfast, but since we had to wait so long, it ended up being lunch! My kids were starving by the time we were served. They ate everything on their plates and helped me with half of my plate too! It was crazy, but it was fun too.
