• Tuesday, November 24, 2009 - Thanksgiving Break...Yay!

Hi Everyone!

 

This week is our Thanksgiving Break! We didn't get a fall break, so my mom is letting us take a week off for Thanksgiving! :)

 

During the break, we are painting my room! I am really excited! We painted it yesterday, and today we are touching up the paint, and putting my furniture in my room! This is the color we painted it...

 

 

The color is really pretty, I think.  I am aiming for an Old-fashion Victorian looking room. :) I will be sure to post pictures when my room is done!

 

Also, on Thanksgiving we are going to my Grandma's house! I can't wait to eat the yummy food! :)

 

What are you all doing for Thanksgiving?

 

Have a great day!

 

Love,

Liz

Hi Everyone!

 

A few weeks ago we went to a friend's football game, and near the football field was a park. The leaves were so beautiful there, and my dad has his camera with him! We just had to take a some pictures! :)

 

 

Here Hope and I are together. :)

 

 

Me standing by the beautiful leaves! :)

 

 

I loved the yellow leaves! God is so amazing! :)

 

 

They had a little bench, the pefect spot for photo-taking! :)

 

 

Ahhh, playing with leaves! ;)

 

 

Leaving a beautiful fall day....:)

 

Love,

Liz

• Saturday, November 7, 2009 - It's Been Awhile!

Hi Everyone!

I am sorry it's been quite a while! I still have been looking at blogs, just not typing on my own. lol :)

 

A lot has been going on!  A few weeks ago for school we made our own bread for the very first time! It was so cool! We watched a video called Homestead Blessings: The Art of Bread Making by the West Family , and we just had to make our own! You can read about our bread making at our Family Blog! Here is sneak peak of our bread!

 

 

Also, I have made a new blog! Since I love to write Book Reviews for The Backyard, I created a new blog for Book Reviews. I would love it if you stopped by, You can go to it HERE.

 

I hope you have a great day!

 

Love,

Liz

• Saturday, October 17, 2009 - Our Own Pumpkin Patch!

Hi Everyone!

 

Our garden did pretty good this year! We got a bunch of Green peppers, more than we ever have gotten! We also got sweet potatoes, which were so yummy! We got a lot of veggies this year that haven't grown well in years! Especially.....Pumpkins!

 

 

We got two very nice pumpkins! They actually grew from our compost accidentally! We carve pumpkins each year, so we put the pumpkin seeds and pulp in the compost. We have always tried to grow pumpkins, but they always have gotten eaten by an animal! We picked these a few weeks ago, so nothing would get them! :)

 

 

It is really nice to get veggies even in October! My dad has built a greenhouse too, so he is planting things in there for the winter. :)

 

I hope you all have a great weekend!

 

Love,

Liz

Some other things I enjoy are reading, blogging, card-making, having fun, animals, old-fashioned and vintage things, being with friends, writing, and photography. I love taking pictures! You will see a lot of them here. Also, the Anne of Green Gables series is one of my favorite book series, and it inspired my template.
