Birdhouses, Crazy Hair, School Days, Home Ec, Fun, Lapbooks and Life!!

We finished up the birdhouses this week at coop. They boys all did a great job on them and I think they were excited to take them home. Here they are sanding them down and putting the varnish/stain on their houses.





Aaron's all done and ready to hang up to dry.

The weather wasn't great that day so we moved inside to the lunch room to work. I had to snap a couple pics of the ladies in the kitchen making lunch!!


Tyler's finished work!

All the houses hanging to dry on the chair rack.


After coop, we headed over to the Cockrell's for the afternoon just to hang out before church. We had a theme night at AWANA that night. It was crazy hat/hair night. The girls had fun with the crazy hair. I took these pics in the car just before we left church afterwards. Momo didn't want me to take her picture so she was trying to hide behind our lunch cooler. HAHAHA!




The back of Kristen's head.



Thursday, we just had a normal school day at home. Ian wanted to do school too so he worked on some puzzles. He was excited that he can do them all by himself now!!




We do actually do "work" too!! Here is Momo working on her phonics.






Kristen was using the computer to research Helen Keller for a report. She also decided to make a lapbook on Helen Keller which she worked on pretty much the rest of the day.




Aaron was here working too but he didn't want to put a shirt on so I didn't take any pics of him! If you notice, everyone else was in their PJ's too!! That is one of their favorite things....doing school in PJ's!!
Ian wanted to make a sandwich to go with his chilli for supper. This was his first time making his own sandwich!! He did great!!








Momo just being Momo!




Later that night, Momo and Ian (and Maggie too) blew up some balloons to play with.

Kristen, still working on her lapbook. She did finish it but I haven't taken pictures yet. I will though.



Friday was a good day. We got schoolwork finished early. Aaron spent the rest of the day hanging out with Chris, playing music and playing video games. Momo spent the afternoon next door with Sara while Kristen, Ian and I did some birthday shopping for Morgan and grocery shopping too. Then Randy had a gig last night so the kids hung out with friends and I just hung out on the computer looking at lapbooks on Hands Of A Child.
It has been a great week. We don't have any big plans for the rest of the weekend. The weather is cold and rainy today so I think it will be mostly an inside day. We might play some game or read some books. I may venture out to the library if I get energetic.....we shall see. Tomorrow we will go to church and then I am going to a Children's Ministry dinner at church tomorrow evening. Aaron has his youth get together then too.

What a beautiful day...homeschooling...and being with your children is such a blessing. I have been so humbled lately with what a blessing it is. Thankyou for a beautiful post to read. :)

Those bird houses were great. Good going Ian on the puzzles and making your first sandwich. He is so adorable. Those girls look so funny with their crazy hair. My girls will do that sometimes. Oh the styles they can come up with. I have just recently discovered "In the Hands of a Child" lapbooks and they look awesome! We will begin one this week on the "Titanic" I think that my oldest daughter will enjoy this topic very much. Your kids always look so happy. You are truly blessed.
