Building Stuctures

Here is one example of the structures that the kids make as they play. This is a Farm house with a fenced yard and guest house. It also contains an animal shelter.

Holiday Crafts

As part of our recycling unit Miss M and I made this cute little bag. We used a pair of her old jeans were to small and had holes in them and. The legs of the pants went to making her brothers jean quilt and the top part was recycled into a new fashion accessory. 

These socking were a Christmas Eve activity to pass the time while we waited.

More Tasty Tuesday's

The last few recipes we have tried were TOTALLY WICKED! The baked potato soup was a recipe I found on pinterst. Just click the link and scroll down a ways to find the recipe. "Pizza Monsters" are our version of homemade pizza pops that got really big. The Sweet Potatoes, well I just made it up as I went with Crushed pecans, butter, and brown sugar. Last but not least was the bacon eggs cup. I think we substituted a slice of ham for the bacon. They were easy to make, and fun to serve. Not sure which exact recipe I used if I did, but I got the idea form Pinterest probably.

Paper Bag Book Reports

Getting up in front of a group of people, and giving a presentation can be scary. These two did a great job, as did the rest of the children involved. Their assignment was  was to write on the 4 sides of a paper bag. The 4 different section were; Plot, Setting, Main Character, and Theme.  Then they were to put 5 objects of their chose inside the bag. These items were supposed to represent something that related to the book. Collecting the items to go in the bags was the funnest part for the kids. Some things they put in their bag they foun around the house, others they made, or Drew. It was a fun way to present a book report.

Remembrance Day

Today we remember the Men and Women that were brave, and fought for our FREEDOM

 that we enjoy today. Some of them paid the price with their lives, and for that we are TRULY GREATFUL. This young man is honoured to dress in his Scout uniform, and take place in the ceremony at the epitaph with the war VETERANS of our town today.

It is amazing the wonderful things you can find while enjoying the creation of God. We came across this beaver dam one day as we were exploring the hill sides near my husbands family ranch.  The kids thought it was awesome that an animal could build it all by himself.

Halloween 2013

Just a little Halloween fun. The kids wanted to carve a Minion pumpkin,so we printed off a pattern from the internet and away we went. The best part for me was that Miss M couldn't stand the smell of the pumpkin. She tried really hard to help with the cleaning out of the pumpkin by plugging her nose, but she was still gaging.

Their costumes were great this year; a cowgirl , purple minion dressed up as black spiderman, skeleton bone man, damentor from the Harry Potter books, and my favourite a Cabbage Patch Kid.

After the trick or treating is all over I bring the pumpkin in the house, and chop it up to make pumpkin pie filling. You know you have a fairly large pumpkin when it fills 2 large pots .
