something fun


This week I created a huge spider web type maze that went all of the library. It took the children on a journey going over, under and through shelves. They had to work together to untangle themselves, and to get to where they needed to be without disrupting any other person's lines. When each child got to the end of their particular string they found an ingredient we needed for making pancakes. FUN FUN FUN!!

Finally!!!

Finally, Meredith and Keith have posted so I say to you all :Meet Henry!! Isn't he the cutest little thing. He is our new nephew, and the son of Mr. D.'s brother Keith and Meredith. We have been so excited about his arrival, and now we are even more excited about his life ahead. We are going to have so much fun with this little guy!

our other nephew takes flight

Donovan earned a flight in a airplane this week for finishing his reading contract for June. He contracted to read 6 hours, and read 14 instead. This is through a program called the Young Eagles. He flew around for about 20 minutes and when he was finished he announced that he wants to be a paratrooper.
Another nephew making us proud this week!!

sometime, I just have to laugh at myself

This is my sewing set up for working on Henry's blanket. The other day, I realized just how ridiculous it truly is.



I sit on the bed in the guest room with my sewing machine on a box that is filled with lessons I am making for school. I use my knee to work the foot petal.

And this is how I sew.

Henry, you don't have to stay in until the blanket is finished.
