The kids loved this shoot so much the last time we did it they begged to do it again. 
Here are a few pics:
The top one is an outtake but I love it. The bottom one, the pose was R2′s idea and I thought it was so sweet.

This was fun! Watching the soap in the microwave – they were thoroughly impressed by this!
Adding the toilet paper:
Add a little color and viola! FUN!
Some pics of the girls during the school day this last week.
Some great Target scores:
One of R3′s chores is to water the plants. She was carrying a cup of water back and forth to fill it about 3 trips and was asking for a watering can. Here we are gluing on the eyes and ears.
And here she’s showing it off:
Sister had to jump in on the pic:
And here she is using it!
Big brother likes it too:
Later on, after Seester and her crew arrived, we made AL State Flag Cookies.
Wanna make some? Graham Crackers Put icing/cheese on cracker, arrange twizzler/red icing in an X – viola!  One comment  Homeschooling, Pictures, R1, R2, R3, Seester  alabama, cookies, elephant, Family, flag, fun, state, watering can Yesterday during school R1 asked me to teach him more about the armor of God from Ephesians 6:11-17 so I found this and printed three copies of the person and the armor and today we colored, laminated and velcroed (yes, I make up words) and this is what we have!
Here’s R3 coloring hers after her nap. I’m not sure she’d have been as into it if she hadn’t seen the finished ones by the big kids after her nap.
Then for our art project, we are studying North America this week (and for the next 4 weeks) so I chose the Early American Quilt from our art book Global Art. Each child picked their fabric and I cut out their squares – then we laid them out on our posterboard (12×12 for the girls and 8×30 for R1) and glued them down.
Here is a pic of the three “quilts.”
R1 and R2 made their Celtic brooches to wear on their cloaks while R3 napped on Wed, here is a pic of the finished product on Thurs.
He was disappointed when I said I would not paint his face blue. R3 did some lacing while the bigs did their worksheets.
And then the girls did some bean sorting while R1 finished up his math.
We planted some Tickle Me plants on the 17th, will keep you posted on how they grow. It says they should respond within 3 weeks.
One of R3′s daily chores is to water our basil plants:
So, I’m behind on blog posts… what’s new? LOL We had a party for R2, R3 and Juju last Saturday. I baked each girl their own small cake and we got a Costco Chocolate cake for the guests. We swam and played and ate cake, what could be better?
My first girl, my first home-birthed baby, my biggest (9 lbs) baby will be 5 years old. She was due July 28 but decided to hang out in the womb for an extra week. We lived in Orlando at the time, and it was so hot I don’t think I left the house at all those last two weeks other than to walk around the neighborhood every night trying to convince her to come.
She’s such a wonderfully awesome little person and we are so God loaned her to us.
We had a great time at Six Flags on Tuesday. I’m still worn out from it!! |
