Starting School?

What do you do when you have a very excited kindergartner whose workbooks have just arrived in the mail and it is only June???
you start kindergarten, of course :)



Ava loves to learn (so far) so I am running with it

look at the concentration :)

Sydney's story

Sydney needed to write a story in her language book

about when Jesus was a little boy

and she was having a hard time so

I told her she could write a story about me when I was a girl.

I gave her the words cows, hay forts, swimming and obey, this is what she came up with...

When my mom was little

When my mom was little, she grew up on a farm. If cows got out they would chase them back-in.

It's fun chasing cows. My mom had a HUGE pool. I wish I could've gone swimming in it.

My mom found openings in trees, and made tunnels in hay bales, which they call: hayforts.

They had to obey or they would get a harsh punishment. (true-story)

Very old "lost" post ( Pumpkin field)

Harvest Party

Travis has been working so much lately that when he got off early on Thursday, we decided to throw a last minute party.

Ava - the ballerina butterfly

Travis was... me :)


Gretchen - the cutest dragon ever!
She actually loved wearing this and kept "grrring" at everyone :)

Sydney was a pirate and Ryan... well, he just put on a bunch of stuff...

we finished the evening with watching How to Train Your Dragon.

good times

Playmobil Medevil Times

This post was actually started last year, but my camera ran out of batteries mid story so we never finished it. I'm posting what we did , maybe we will finish it someday.(knowing how I do project, don't count on it) :)

enjoy.

Long, long ago, in the land of England

there was a king...

"I have servants to do everything for me...I'm bored!"



" I know, I'll have a tournament!"




"Herald, I want you to find me some brave knights, and tell the royal cook to plan a big feast"


"Yes, Sire"




"Royal cook, you must prepare a big feast for the King."



"This isn't going to be enough for a big feast"

"here, kitty, kitty, kitty"

to be continued.....(maybe)

some art

Sydney and I did a paper cutting craft, I got the idea from some pictures I saw on Etsy (actually mine is an exact copy of one of them) I'm very not creative, I may be called crafty though, I can copy other peoples ideas pretty well. :)

Sydney , on the other hand, is very creative, I think. Here is her mermaid picture that she made all by herself.
