Mud Splashing kind of day!
What a great day we had today. We went out early to
a nearby neighbors house for a yard sale and did we
ever hit the jackpot. I only spent a few dollars and
had some great finds. I bought...
United States map laminated 25 Cents
World map laminated 25 cents
Tell time Quizmo 25 Cents
M&M counting game 10 cents
Money matching game 10 cents
name plate cards 10 cents (we will use for spelling words)
ABC strip cursive and print 10 cents each
2 large story books 25 cents each
Bible game book 10 cents
another bible games book 10 cents each.
I was floored by the prices of the maps. They had
price tags of $14.95 orginal price and they were
In perfect shape. I got a steal there. Also on the bible
games books which are huge books filled
with awesome bible games. I am so excited about them.
The kids came home and played with their finds.
Superboy found a Kinex box for $1. and animal videos.
Princess found some music CDs and The movie Sarah
Plain and Tall which we read just this year.
She also bought the board game the game of life.
Spirit got a truck that pulls a marine boat.
Each used their own money that they saved .
They wanted to spend more but they couldnt.
They had to makedecisions about what they bought.
Except Spirit of course who is to small.
WE came home and each found something to do
For awhile but we soon found ourselves in a robust
game of Life. So many skills here and they didnt
even know they were doing anything of value.
Later they got out all of Superboys Kinex and
built a few things. Superboy made a race car
but had trouble with it because the battery wouldnt
quite move the wheels. He had to figure out what he did
wrong . He did figure it out and off it went.
In the evening we had a bit of rain. It came down slow
at first and then down poured. The kids went out to cool
off. I went to grab my camera but before I got to it
the two older ones were finished and drying off.
I did happen to catch Spirit happily playing in a mud
puddle. :)
I love how he ducks here like he can squeeze
between the rain drops. :)

Oh that is soo cute, my son does stuff like that too! What a great memory to capture!
We went "saling" today too...picked up a new bike for Sissy for $10 (we were looking at spending $50 last week...so this was a wonderful blessing)
Didn't find any homeschooling stuff today, wish I could tag along with you, seems like you got some great finds!
Blessings,
