Some school work and some family fun!!

In the midst of the fun and business, we have also been plugging along with lessons. Here is Aaron in his usual spot.....at the computer. He was working on his biology.



While Kristen worked on her math lesson beside him.




Momo has been learning about different animals and how unique and special each one is. This lesson was about how some animals (beavers) have webbed feet. She did a little activity to see how the webbing helps in swimming. First, she moved her open hand through water in the sink.


Then she put her hand in a plastic bag and moved it through the water to see how she could move the water better having "webbing" between her fingers.


Ian also did some pages in one of his workbooks.




Here is Momo reading a story in one of her readers. We are really enjoying the stories in these readers.



That Thursday night, Morgan had pulled out a package of pipe cleaners she got in her craft box at Christmas. One thing lead to another...and soon we had some crazy fun...the whole family got involved in!! Here is the start of things..... Randy and I started putting the pipe cleaners in Morgan's hair....



When Ian saw Momo, he wanted in on it too....


Then along came Kristen so we decorated her.....

Of course then, it was Mama's turn for a new "do"!

Aaron has the best hair for pipe cleaners....although....getting them out was another story....haha. It wasn't too bad though.

Papa, on the other hand....too a little more creativity!!


Papa was a helicopter head!!

I meant it when I said the whole family was in on it....Kristen decorated Maggie too!!

Time for some family portraits!!!



We had so much fun and the best part was that is wasn't planned at all....it just happened.

Kristen also finished up her Geography lapbook. Here are the finished pictures.




It was a great week!! Last week I somehow didn't take any pictures!! We were busy all week and it went by so fast. We had coop, errands, band practices, Brownie meeting, small group, church activities, prepared for a baby shower, shopping, band gigs, fun, school and just life!!
