YUM!

This morning we went to a local farm to pick strawberries. Here we are in the strawberry fields picking and eating!



Do you see strawberries on his lips? That's also a busted lip from a fall yesterday.

This is what we brought home after we ate some for lunch. We are planning to have strawberry smoothies this afternoon and strawberries on pancakes in the morning for breakfast. YUM!

Some pics to share

Here is our Balloon Launch yesterday. We made cards for Jesus and sent them to Heaven.
Up, up and away they go. The kids loved watching them take off.

Here's what we spent the afternoon making. A superman and Batman sock puppet. I thought they turned out cute. T was so excited and thanked me constantly for making it. My mom brought us a kit to make them and the boys have begged to make them ever since. But, I hate sewing. It really wasn't so bad though.

I think I have to back out of the challenge. If anyone wants to read her challenges then go to my previous posts to go to Crystal's blog.

Park day!

Today we spent some time at a local park. The boys really enjoyed playing at a different park with their friends. We took the opportunity to take lots of pictures so that we could enter a contest! "I'm entering the Fall Five Kodak Printer Give-Away at Sprittibee's Blog. Kodak and Sprittibee are giving away an EasyShare 5300 printer!" Little T even took some of his own photos. I don't usually hand over my camera but Spirttibee asked us to include them. Here are a few pictures that Little T took.

As you can see he's a natural! Here is the finished project. We started making a Alphabet mini scrapbook last year. Because I didn't want to run to the store to print pictures we kinda stopped after D. Hopefully we will finish it this year. I skipped ahead to the Letter P and then we used ordinal numbers to rate his favorite things to do at the park. We are going over ordinal numbers in our school work right now so I jumped at the chance to reinforce it.

Since this isn't really clear, because I also don't have a scanner, I'll explain the pictures. 1st is playing at the park with Friends, 2nd is the bridge, 3rd is the firepole, 4th is feeding the Ducks and geese (mostly because he liked taking pictures of them), 5th is the spiderweb climber, and 6th is the slide (it was hot!).

We have been having lots of fun doing school and also on the field trips. We really enjoyed adding another fun item to our learning adventure! Happy Fall Ya'll!

Blessings and Joy

Hey everyone! We've been really busy this week with our company that stayed in our home. We were blessed so much by their visit. The boys had the best time playing with all the kids. My husband and I both enjoyed our full house! We are recovering today because it has been non-stop. Our guests were so nice and even bought me Roses! Can you believe it? I am actually hoping that they need to return next week because already last night we missed them. They were here lobbying to pass the bill to Legalize home births with a midwife. God has just poured on the blessings this week. I have so much Joy in my heart right now that it feels like I will burst! I would break out in song but you would probably cover your ears so I will break out in Psalm instead! This passage has been on my heart all week.

Psalm 145:10-12 15-17

"All your works shall praise You, O LORD, And your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of your power. To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. "

"The eyes of all look expectantly to You,.....You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all his works."

On top of having our guests I have been making tons of Cake truffles with a friend for the Women's conference at our church. They turned out beautiful and after tasting a "few" I am very sure no one will die from eating them! Although my word for them is "heavenly." That is what I first thought after making them for the first time. This conference will be a Women's worship event. I can't wait to go. We are having Desserts only and will be tasting the Word of God with lots of chocolate!

I hope that all of you will pray for the bill on Home births and Midwives to pass this soon!

Zoo Day!

Hey all! We had a great time at the zoo with our friends last week. Here are some pictures of the boys enjoying the zoo. The biggest hit for the boys was the train. I was trying to make the trip a little educational by pointing out the animals and naming them when I told Big T. to look at the Warthog he said "That's like Pumba." (The Lion King) He really knows how to stump me sometimes.
