After MONTHS of planning, we were able to successfully surprise my husband and our children with a visit from my sister-in-law and her family! It was a complete surprise! My husband starred out the window at their van in our yard and repeated the words, “What?! No! What?!” over and over again! Our girls just giggled uncontrollably and then took off playing and never stopped all weekend! It was a fun-filled 3 days of snowmobiling, snow activities, AWANA sliding party, random science experiments (including exploding our volcano and creating a Mento-diet coke explosion!) games, Polly pockets, Barbies, dress-up, stories and lots of laughs! Was so much fun for all!
Great New Books! The girls are sharing these books back and forth tonight as they lay in bed, definitely favorites!
We ended the weekend with an evening of Tim Hawkin's, Insanitized, could anything possibly be funnier?! Check out a clip HERE
Our Projects of the Week! This week we studied the American artist, Robert Vonnoh’s work "In Flanders Field-Where Soldiers Sleep and Poppies Grow" 1858-1933.
The girls had fun with water color crayons!
JB6 Made a bird feeder...
And paper machete volcanoes at co-op...
And JB6 lost her second tooth!
On more of a "mom-note," I am very excited about doing this blog! As a homeschool mom, I am looking into the possibility of doing curriculum reviews for next year! And in order to do so, I need to have at least 25 blog followers. So with hopes of increasing the traffic to my blog (and to hopefully gain a few followers) I have begun a new weekly meme on my blog! It is called “Thursdays: Tied with Love and Laughter” and it focuses on the love of your life! I am super excited about doing this meme and just as excited to have a new blog! I simply LOVE the creative release of blogging!
So thank you for stopping by my blog! If you would please consider following Our Family Forest, I would really appreciate it!
