Carving Pumpkins

 For Family Home Evening we carved out the pumpkins. I was surprised that the kids actually would put their hands into the pumpkins. Years passed they wouldn't even put their hands in. We got two of our three pumpkins carved. I ran out of energy to do the last one. It took about an hour to do just the two. After we got done I cooked some of the seeds to see if the kids would eat them. Hailey and Kaleb liked them. October 29,2012

Playing with Halloween costumes

So we tried on costumes to figure out if they would fit the kids and all the older kids tried on this costume. I got a picture of Hailey in it she looked cute. This isn't the one she is wearing for Halloween.October 3, 2012

James way of moving

James doesn't really roll or crawl. He pushes himself backwards. In the picture you can see where his blanket is and that he has pushed himself that far off his blanket. Also he is smiling really cute.       September 26,2012

Smoke in Wenatchee

So we had a lightning storm go through Washington. The Wenatchee Area go several fires. So for 5ish weeks we had smoke and very bad air quality. Kaleb had started school and they were not allowed to play outside because of the air quality.  This is a picture of looking out from our house you normally can look out and see the river and bridges and see East Wenatchee and you couldn't even see it.

kids doing school

So since Kaleb is going to Kindergarten I thought if I put more into doing school for the girls it might help Zoe not notice that Kaleb is gone almost half the day. So I found a great website confessionsofahomeschooler.com. It has a itinerary and things to do. So that is what we are doing and so far the kids like it. I got lessons ready for the next 5 weeks. Then I need to print more and laminate more.

Hailey doing a game where you have a letter and magnets and it has spaces to put the magnets

It also had a cut and paste this day. So Zoe is getting glue on her papers. So here's hoping I can keep it up.
