Nov. 26, 2008 - Fun Times
We have had a lot of fun the last month. First up was our Family Fun Night at our church last month. We had a chili/pie baking contest. The kids can dress up if the want to. Of course....most kids want to! Lulu made two chocolate sundae pies. They were yummy, yummy. She won a prize they were so good! It was a great evening of fellowshipping with our church family.
Lulu went as Princess Leonore from the Medieval Dinner Show.
Monkey went as Padmae when she married Annikan.
Lil went as SuperGirl!
Three very beautiful little girls if I do say so!!!
Next up on our fun list was a night out bowling. We had never taken all three girls bowling before. This was Lil's first time ever. They all had so much fun. Their Papaw is a big bowler and James used to be as well. So needless to say they liked it. They told their Papaw last weekend when James and I were away for the evening that they wanted to go bowling with him.
Last week we had our annual Thanksgiving Feast Day at co-op. We love our co-op. God has blessed our group with a terrific leader and with wonderful Christian families. It is a strength to me to know that I have women at my fingertips that I can go to with questions and for support. Anyway back to Feast Day... this year's theme was prairie days. Since my girls love all things Little House on the Prairie this was perfect for them. I managed to come up with dresses, aprons, and bonnets for all three. (Not the best aprons and bonnets, but I tried) We have several stations set up for the kids to travel to and learn about different aspects of living during that time period.
Lil was practicing a leaf rubbing. They also did potato prints.
At this station the kids learned about living without electricity and all the luxuries we live with today. They listened to a story. How sweet that Lil is in Lulu's lap!
Here is Monkey at my station. We talked about how hard it was to get food. The kids got to crack corn, grind applesauce, and crack nuts. Thanks to James, some of the boys even got to try their had at using flint and steel.
I hope everyone has a very blessed Thanksgiving. I know that I will. I am already extremely blessed.
