Flying Factuals (lesson 3)

A big THANK YOU to my amazing MIL and FIL for joining our science class yesterday and teaching such a fun, hands on, feet moving, lots of learning type of class. Here is the re-cap...

First Grandma Jenny taught us to sing in Japanese and sound like a bird...

Then we were reminded that it takes more than feathers to fly...

Then we learned that size doesn't matter either...

We learned about thermal winds...

We got to see a bird right above us gliding/floating on a thermal wind...

Then we migrated like silly nerds (oops... I meant birds) - yes, I'm quoting G'pa Paul!

We learned that there is a magnetic North and some birds have built in compasses to find it...

We learned how birds use constellations to help guide the way...

AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN LEARNING ALL OF IT!!!!! Thanks again to both G'ma Jenny and G'pa Paul - you guys went above and beyond (as usual) and we were all blessed because of it. We can't wait for lesson 11 on Beetles, Flies and True Bugs!

Okay, now here are some pictures of my cute kids playing in the yard today for your viewing pleasure.

And lastly I must mention that my same wonderful mother-in-law came over again today to teach me how to use my sewing machine... I had so much fun! I just couldn't stop... SEW FUN and SEW CUTE!

These are reversible and there is one for Avery and one for cousin Lauren.

And this is a picture of each side of the one for my beautiful niece Brooke - but don't tell her because it's for her birthday! Yee haw Brookie!

What's Going On???

I am always busy... the question is with what this time??? So here is just a bit of what's been going on - I have been...

Watching pretty little girls play volleyball...

Watching a handsome man coach volleyball...

Watching a pretty girl and cute guy ref together...

The girls play a game then ref a game... this was so cute to see!

Wearing the kids out...

Adison sleeping on the stairs.

Kenyon sleeping at the kitchen table - view from under table.Kenyon and Avery asleep together on the sofa. Hand in hand - for real!

We let Adia babysit for a bit one night and we came home to see she did a great job!

Going to Volleyball team parties...

We got to make team blankets and I had a lot of fun finally getting to meet all the moms and players.

Laughing at boys...

who play with boy parts...

who are always getting into trouble...


Who escape from church to go play in the rain with the really cool nature toys...

Studying birds and making it a hands on experience...

I can't decide if I am proud of being a fun homeschool mom or if I am ashamed of being compulsive...

Here is Jazz on the left and Blueberry on the right.

Trying so hard to get them to come out and play...
I'm trying to learn not to be afraid of animals but it is so not working... why am I so afraid of the cute little birds???

Playing with new toys...

Wii love it - notice who is holding the remotes.

And I don't have pictures but the rest of my time is filled with lots and lots more fun mommy/teacher stuff. I like it.

HUGS to you all!
