Puppies

And then there were 7. Our dog had 6 Puppies on 

New Years Eve!!!!

Naturally, we took the opportunity to have a science lesson on 

LIFE (and all that entails), and now we are learning about responsibility. Next will come $ money management as we get ready to sell them.

Chocolate Black Bean Cookies

Our aunt is inspiring us to make

WHOLE FOOD, PLANT BASED

 treats. They are delicious and we don't feel yucky after eating them.(They disappeared as fast or faster than the sugar filled ones)

Water color - Fireworks

We went to a friends house to learn how to paint with

 water-colours. It was fun to see how circles on page could magically turn in to fireworks in the sky.

Cinnamon Bun Math ?

In the spirit of discovering everyday applications to the subject we are learning in our studies we made cinnamon buns. I didn't get a picture of the proofing yeast, but it was spectacular. The kids enjoyed using the skills of: measuring, adding fractions, mixing solutions, growing/feeding organisms, understanding gases, chemical change, etc.

Fall Sports

This Year, fall sports took us to a few different Volleyball tournaments. It was nice that Mr. W was able to take home a first place medal. He was truly amazing, and worked really hard learning a new sport.

Mr. G, dominated on the Flag Football field again this year, but this time is was at QB. He really enjoyed being able to throw the ball. He has a natural ability to read the players on the other team, so he was fabulous on defence as well. 

Trying to keep warm on the side lines. 

Archery

We have discovered a new, individual, sport that everyone seems to enjoy, and is excelling at.

Super Slime!

Nothing like a good ol' science experiment to kick off a new school year. This Nickelodeon slime kit worked like a champ. It was a big hit with everyone in the household.  An added bonus to it entertaining qualities is its surprisingly tremendous relaxing and calming effect.
