Its that time again...

I would like to share what we are doing in Nature Study.  We have a "snail observatory" for a short time.  My 2ds made our tank all nice and comfy for our visitors and we are going to be doing some nice experiments.  We will set up different observation situations and watch them.  I will take pics and update what we learn this coming week.  I will also have the boys draw a pic and label the parts of a snail.  I love this kind of science.  There is soooooooooo much to learn just by taking the time to look and observe what the Lord has made.  What a awesome creation our Lord has made for us to enjoy and learn from.  There is just sooo much detail in His creation.

Here is the tank in our learning room.

Here is a up close pic of one of the snails.

 Here they are in their lovely home away from home.

There is more to come on our science adventure. Till then...

It's that time again...

When I was a little girl my Grandpa. ( my daddy's dad)  Made me a horse hooked rug. 

 I LOVED horses as a little girl.  Yes, I was one of those little girls who asked ( for years) for a horse.  Even though we had no place to put it I still wanted one.  But God knew how strong of a desire I had and met it in a different way.  I had two neighbors who DID have horses and in exchange with helping them groom their horses and clean the stalls I was rewarded with getting to ride them.  I LOVED that memory of my childhood.  I hope to hang this rug somewhere soon.  I haven't picked the place .....yet.

  PS:

This coming Monday I am leaving to go to the Coast of BC, Canada.  I will be going to a training meeting for Crisis Pregnancy Center for post abortion support group training.  Sooooo that means that there won't be Tightwad Tuesday or Show and Tell Friday ...unless you all do it without me. 

It's that time again...

I get to share my very first flower garden that "I" planted.  I am sooooooo excited and can't wait to see it in bloom !  My MIL gave me some trans plants and bulbs in the fall and I have been waiting ALL winter for it to grow.  I planted tulips, crocus', and all kinds of other goodies .  I can't remember what they were ((blush)) but when I post a updated pic of when they are in bloom.  I will label them.  I have been moving around so much for the last 17 years that I never really wanted to put too much into a garden that I had to leave.  I know I should have but I didn't.  Now that I have put down roots I did it.

I dug up this flower bed on Wednesday and planted daffodils and fall crocus'.  There was a HUGE rock in the middle of the bed.  It is the rock on the bottom right corner of the bed.  Well...my Handsome and 1ds15 helped me move it out.  We had a lesson on levers while doing this.  Hey, I got to sneak in learning when ever I can.

Today I want to share a little treasure I found at a second chance store.  It is a "courting candle" holder.   I have been wanting one for years and I found it for .50 cents !!!!  It was perfect b/c not only is it a fully working courting candle holder but it was.... RED .  I love red and am using that colour to accent my home. 

Now if you look up close on the second pic you will see the handle that moves the candle up or down.

 In the past depending how much the parents liked the suitor of their daughter they would push up the candle to give the daughter and suitor more time together or... if they didn't like the fellow that much they would lower the candle to the bottom and give very little time together.   Even though I only have boys I STILL wanted to have one. lol

PS:  IF you intrested in one I found a neat web site that sells them at a good price and they are cute ! Go HERE

This week I would love and HAVE to share about what we are sooooooo engrossed in reading during our night time family read a loud.

There 6 books out and the Seventh coming in June !!!  This series has us HOOKED.  Yes, these are awesome books for boys but I think anyone (even girls and parents) would get enjoyment out of them.  It is a story that parallels  stories in the bible in a Middle Age setting.  I have been finding it so much fun to figure out which stories are similar to the ones in the bible. 

 There is honor, honesty, being true to the King ( God) to the end, and many more biblical lessons that are upheld in the book.  Ohhhh so many talks to be had after each nights
reading !!! 

We are almost done with the second book.   I cannot recommend these enough.  Click on to the book pic and it will take you to the books website, The Kingdom Series.   They also have the first 6 books on CD.  I know what I want to get the boys now !

I have been at Cindy Rushton's homeschool online conference today and tomorrow.  I will make my Show and Tell rounds as I can and more after tomorrow.

 
I messed up this post and I am afraid if I tamper with it any more I will loose it.

I am going to first tell and then take you on a rabbit trail for the show.

I have for almost two years of had a blog ( wow has it been that long !!! )  and  I have resisted of having more than one blog.  I am one of those persons who likes a "all in one" blog.   But just recently I went to my friend Libby's craft blog and..... I was inspired !!! 
If you have been hanging out with me long enough you would know what a craft-aholic I am.  Sooo I gave in and created a place for anyone who wants to know what I am up to in this department of my life to see my handiwork. I have a special craft I have shown first.  It is a sweater that I have been promising my Handsome for a couple years now *BLUSH*.  And I finally finished it !!! So if you go to " Stitching With Love" you will see it.
 This is for you Tracy  And others who cannot go to blogger.

This week has been a FULL week for me.  So I decided to make my ...

Into my ....
