We've had fun with science:

We have done lots of geography:

puzzles and more puzzles,

and taking quizzes.

And of course, arts and crafts:

Alli made the butterfly suncatchers

that she got in her Easter basket.

The 3 younger girls all got busy painting our own mugs,

and making bead bracelets.

Abby has been busy too:

She's  played with the marble works

and built towers with dominoes.  She's

created trains w/ the dominoes and knocked them down.

She's been busy on the 'puter........

She's  played games......Sorry, Memory and Trouble.

And of course, she's been read too.....alot.....

making sure to keep up on her Princess studies, lol......

In the kitchen:

Alli made cream puffs this week....

Rosie made meatballs for our spaghetti.......

***********************

The older kids are trying to keep  busy too:

cleaning out the shed, the basement and the backyard.....

helping out around the house and at kindergarten.....

walking Natalie back and forth to work.......

They've been listening to lots of music,

playing Guitar Hero and the new Tomb Raider game,

watching American Idol, Pistons Playoff Games, Tigers Games,

RedWings Playoff Games and of course, anything Nascar......

They spend time every day trying to best each other at basketball,

and taking too many quizzes on Facebook..........

Natalie and Nikki went to a Christian music concert last weekend....

They took the 3 girls to see the new Hannah Montana Movie.......

Tonight, the 4 oldest and Bob are headed to a Piston's playoff game.....

*********************************

And, of course, they are all spending as much time as possible outside....

jumping on the trampoline and riding bikes......

and doing lots of pretend playing too (the littles, of course, lol).......

Bob put up a shorter basketball hoop, so everyone, even the younger girls

all go out and play basketball daily.......

*******************************

And I think that's pretty much everything.......Our days aren't too

exciting, but we have settled into a nice routine and everyone is

keeping busy, for the most part, lol.....
