Happy St. Patrick's Day! I don't think Luck has anything to do with it! We are Blessed!

We met with our friend Kiely and enjoyed a fun day learning about the real meaning of St. Patrick's Day. Made homemade shamrock cookies with green sprinkles. Learned about the Blessed trinity. Made a shamrock sprout with lettuce seeds and created a solution that will turn our pipe cleaner shamrock into a beautiful crystal. Fun!

Butterfly Garden

Suzanne, Kiely and Hannah talking to a docent about butterflies.

A butterfly landed on Hannah's shoe.

Today we went on a field trip to a butterfly garden. It was beautiful! We enjoyed the peaceful creatures and watched them float around us. Many landed on our bodies. It was wonderful.

Crazy Feet

I am so happy ! Dad took Hannah to buy some socks and they came home with Mix - A - Roos! I don't have to worry about matching socks anymore. They come all different. Brillant, I tell you Brillant!

Snail Snack

Grandpa Paul this snack is for you! Hannah's Poem this week was about snails. She has been observing her mystery snail in her fish tank and in the garden. We learned about the snails anatomy. Interesting!
Snails
author unknown
Slimy and slippery, Snails are such fun. Slowly they move, They can't run!
Leaving their trail Behind as they go. You can see where they've been and how very slow.
On their back is a shell, It's really their home. It's ever so small, But it goes where they roam.
On stalks are their eyes, that wave all around. One can point up and one to the ground!
They eat lots of plants, and all the flowers. Munching away, Especially in showers.
Shiny and slippery, snails are such fun. They eat and they eat, they must weigh a ton.

President's Day Fun

We found out Abe had a scar above his eyebrow... Just like Daddy! It adds character and tells a story.

Hannah and I had a fun day discussing facts about the President. We read this fantastic book about "Honest Abe" and made a cute craft with him wearing his stove pipe hat. What would you keep in there? I know I would want a snack in mine!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love is patient, Love is kind... 1 corinthians 13:4

A Merry Heart!

A Merry Heart is like good medicine! from Proverbs
The whole family has been sick ! We all had to go to the Doctor's and get an antibiotic. Bad sore throats and coughs. It has been rough... but,God is good! I am thankful and merry because I have a roof over my head. I am thankful and merry because my husband has a job that provides health insurance. I am thankful and merry for my family. We have had to slow down and take time to get well. It has brought us together. Put a log in the fire place and watch movies together and eat chicken soup. Ahhh.. A merry heart is good medicine! Thank you Lord for healing our family!
