So many blessings

where do I start?

I have this beautiful family

some near, some far apart.

Friends that support me

and love me for me,

A warm house, good health

and food in my belly.

A God who has saved me

redeemed me for His,

A life that is wonderful

it certainly is!


Happy Thanksgiving!

Tea for Three


Oh how I love these girly-girls of mine!

Prone to drama? Sure.  But sweet to their core nonetheless.


Our days are full of singing, dancing, dress-up, and make-believe.  You know, the stuff that any good princess is particularly good at.

Tea with cream and grahams with icing and pink sprinkles.  Lots of laughing, and pointed pinkies, and daydreaming…..

And a memory I never want to forget!

fun friday

I love to reward my kids, after a great week of school, with “Fun Friday”. 
We usually try to do all of our schooling in 4 days a week. 
If everyone has been cooperating, and completed their work with a cheerful heart,
 then Friday becomes our fun school! 
 We do lots of art projects, crafts, science experiments, learning games,
educational movies, computer games, and usually a fun snack. 
Sometimes we go on a field trip, or invite our friends over to join us!

fun friday

On the grid (from left to right):
1.  Maddie.  She had the prettiest Rainbow Fish!
2.  Isaac who was by far the messiest.
3.  Nate and Ben who never stopped laughing that day.
4.  Elaina carefully filling in her fish.
5.  Ben.
6.  Elaina and Olivia playing with baby Samantha. 
7.  Gracie {with the cutest cheese smile!} 
8.  Nate counting his play money. 
9.  Baby Samantha, catching some Zzzzzz….

Now that's a lot of kids.  Count them.  There are 8!

I read them The Rainbow Fish and the kids helped tell the story with our cute felt board set.  Then they made their own Rainbow Fish via crayon resist and water colors.  And for some fish bling we embossed some silver scales on top.  The kids played Hyperdash outside, and then Sports Market Game for some money counting practice.  We made homemade pizza.  The kids gobbled it up (next time making two!)  And enjoyed some delish funfetti cupcakes.

So much fun!

Already planning the next one…

Farm

"Recall it as often as you wish;
a happy memory never wears out."
-Libbie Fudim


We spent a fun day at a farm recently.
A wonderful day of fun, exploration, fellowship.



The Diva rode a pony.  She was in HEAVEN!


The Mad Scientist with his pal, Ben



The Baby picked out her pumpkin...
And fed some animals...


The Gamer chased a chicken..


Going on a hay ride!
With Friends: Ben, Gracie, and Maddie.
