Reading Project

She's proudly showing off her work! She finished reading A Little Princess last week, and she had to create a shadow box depicting Sarah's room in the attic.

Those Wild and Crazy Kids!

They must take after their daddy! LOL

More Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Here's more of the fun!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time! We got to look at all of the different kinds of pumpkins and hear two stories. And the weather was awesome.

On the Road Again

We're so glad it's fall. The weather is great, and the kiddos can ride bikes all they want! Dd just got her bike as an early birthday present. Thanks Nana and Papa!

My Little Comedian

He's always doing something to make us laugh. :)

Planting Seeds

We planted pumpkin and corn in our cups. We'll be eagerly watching to see when they begin to sprout. We decided to plant the seeds out of reach of our dog--to find out why, check out the earlier post about planting corn. LOL

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

Here's my ds16 wearing his JROTC uniform. He is a First Lieutenent. Isn't he handsome?

Great Grandparents

We visited my grandparents this weekend. I'm so blessed to still have the two of them in my life. I'm so thankful that my children got to spend some time with their great grandparents. :)

MSU trip--Go Dawgs!!!

We had a great time in Starkville, Mississippi. We really enjoyed the win over Vandy! By the way, that's my mom in the picture with my daughter. We had lots of fun!

Brothers and Sisters

Why can't they always act like this?

Wordless Wednesday

Making Play Dough

We made play dough in science class today. We used a simple recipe: 10 heaping tbsp. flour, 1 tsp. salt, 4 tsp. oil, and 8 tbsp. warm water. Just mix and add food coloring, if desired. We also baked our creations so we could keep them forever. The kiddos had a blast!

Making Bread and Butter (cont. AGAIN)

And even more pics!

Homemade Bread and Butter (cont.)

More pics!

Making Bread and Butter

Yummy! We've been studying about how the early settlers made bread and butter, so we did it ourselves today. Of course, we didn't have to milk a cow or cook over fire, but it was still a lot of work! I can say the results are worth it, though--it's delicious!

Planting Corn

We planted corn today. We learned about the Pilgrims last week, and we read that Squanto told them to put fish in with the corn they planted. So, that's what we did. Hopefully the "wild animal" seen in the last picture didn't eat all of our crop! LOL
