This year I had some great help in the annual buckeye making!
Rolling the balls and making her long-armed snowman! A custom Esther creation!
Andrew got in on the rolling for a little while but he much prefers eating them to making them!
After dipping the peanut butter balls, taking the toothpicks out if the final step. This is when I foolishly burnt my hand on the stove after taking off a pot of melted chocolate.
Package 'em up and time to enjoy! Phew - it's a 2-3 days process to make 700 of those little guys but the end result sure is worth it!
Here's a day in the life of our homeschoolin' bunch:
We've been getting this face a lot lately. It's not as bad as it looks - she's just searching for our reaction. It's pretty cute actually.
Doing some of our seatwork - writing I think. Andrew's copying a verse from a hymn and Esther's working on her letters. Phoebe is working on her standing looking like such a little lady.
Enough to melt a momma's heart!
We finished up a prolonged study of Ancient Egypt with our own reenactment of Ramesus II (Andrew), his wife (Essie) and a Hebrew slave (me)! We had fun making the Egyptian collars and dressing up.
To supplement our learning about ponds, we are raising some tadpoles. We've had them about 4 weeks now and no legs yet but we keep feeding them and they haven't croaked yet?!!?
Can you see them? There's Luke Skywalker and Abigail Sarah! :)
A minor accomplishment to most kids, but to our Phoebe learning to hold a cup, pick it up herself and drink from it are a big milestone. We're so happy for her! |
