Thanks Mrs. E!

Basket making

The kids got to make some baskets with our homeschool group.  They weren't too hard, but they had to work at it.  Thanks Mrs. S!!

Bird feeder

We made little bird feeders this week.

 It was fun watching Karis hang them on our itty-bitty tree.

She even tried to hang one really close to the ground!

Three- year old Biblical scholars

We recently asked Karis what her new verse was for Sunday School. They

start a new verse every month and had just finished Genesis 1:1.

Instead of replying with a verse she informed us in her cute 3-year old voice, 

"We done wit the old

tessament. Now we on the new tessament." 

I didn't know they covered so

much material in the 3-year old Sunday School class!

The thesaurus can be fun

Joel piqued Caleb's curiosity with a thesaurus game tonight. Caleb

came up with a sentence and then found alternate words for that

sentence in the thesaurus. He found that the end result can be quite funny.

The original sentence:
The old man drank his juice.

The post thesaurus sentence:
The ancient human quaffed his liquor.

Karis' Lava Lamp

Karis made a lava lamp this week.

We filled a water bottle with some vegetable oil, water and some food coloring.


Then we added some pieces of alka-seltzer tablets and watched it bubble.

Here's a video of Karis showing dad.

Doll Power

Great Grandma H made the girls Taekwondo uniforms for their dolls to

match their own. Now that Eliana has two green stripes on her yellow

belt, she asked her instructor to put two stripes on her doll's belt.

Her instructor thought that was great fun.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We enjoyed a beautiful day at the pumpkin patch!

Going on a ride to pick out a pumpkin is always great fun!

The kids enjoyed all the activities at the pumpkin patch.  Too many to mention them all, but I think the "Boo Mountain" slide was definitely a favorite.  Karis & I even took a couple fast trips down.
