Painted Toast, Another haircut and Randomness!

Last week, we were learning about Joseph and his coat of many colors in history. There were several suggestions for "colorful" activities but I decided we would do this activity, our friend, Sadie told me about. We painted bread!! This is a great activity. The kids loved it and it was quick, and easy and very inexpensive!!










Ian had some help writing his name on his!









Momo's ready for the toaster!

Kristen's ready for the toaster. (The "Liv" on hers is for her best friend, Olivia.)



Time to eat it!!

Kristen has been wanting to get her haircut. Heather came over and cut it for her as practice for her future career in cosmetology.




The finished look. She shortened it a bit and cut layers.



Some creative photography by Aaron.....can you guess what this is?

Week 10 - Learning and Life

Week ten was fairly quiet for us. We were able to get lots of school work done. Here are just a few random pictures from the week.
Morgan took these before church one night. We had revival the first part of the week. Grounded Again played each night for the children's revival.


Momo being her cute self!


Aaron was helping Ian do some school work one morning. Moments like these are one of the great things about being a homeschooling family. Yes, I know, they don't have shirts on but I just had to post this picture because it really shows an important part of our schooling.



While the boys were working together, the girls were also working on their history. We are including a pocket book on the ancient civilizations into our work with MOH.

One of Ian's favorite jobs now is helping Grandpa get to where he is going. Here he was helping him back to his room one night after we ate supper.

Asking Grandpa if he wants to sit in his chair on on his bed.....


Morgan finished up her unit on weather. Here she is working on a 3-D tornado picture for the weather pocket book.


The finished picture.


Kristen working on history again.




Morgan finishing up the weather lapbook.

She was excited to finish up this science unit. She said it was very interesting learning about weather. Here she is showing off the finished lapbook and pocket book!!

Inside the lapbook.


Everyone (well almost) working on various activities.





Ian made a picture of a DOG for the letter D.
He decided to give the picture to Grandpa!
OOOPPSSS, I think I snapped the picture too quick, Grandpa wasn't smiling yet!!




That wraps up the week. We also did all the usual activities, work, going to the gym, lots of playing, church activities and more. The weather was also so nice, we all spent a lot of time outside enjoying fall!!!
