Happy Halloween!

HaPpY HaLloWeEn !!! I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Truthfully its not my favorite holiday but I do like the fun traditions that my girls enjoy and love to see the excitement on there faces and remember how much fun I had as a kid on this day of endless candy possibilities! So this year we ended up with two cute little fairies, it was so fun to see Emma and Hanna dance every chance they had. Makenzie after reading a book on Pocahontas really wanted to be her. And Michelle fasinated with the spooky part of halloween decided to be a skelleton. This is the girl who watched The Wizard of Oz and had nightmares for two years... The weather was so great! and the girls were pleased with the ammount of candy. We ended our night with the tradition of the girls laying out there candy and trading with eachother while watching The nightmare before christmas. I think I only had to break up two arguments! Girls and chocolate!!

School time!

How cool is science?? I always save it for last just like desert!
The girls had a blast looking at the magnetic field with iron filings. The next picture is of us making our own compass by magnetizing a needle then placing it on a piece of cork floating in a glass of water. It actually works! Amazing! You know school is going good when we go over two hours :)

School time!

Well it's been a great first two months of school! I love the beginning when they just cant wait to start. This year we are studying some great things, American history, electricity, magnetism, Incas, Aztec and Mayan culture. It is fascinating to learn right along with the girls. What a great world and time we live in!!

Palm Sunday

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, behold, thy King cometh unto thee. He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Zechariah 9:9

The girls made palms while I told the story of the triumphal entry.

I have to share my secret to a wonderful conference this year! I found this craft for the girls to do during conference and it worked beautifully! They moaned and groaned when conference ended and were thrilled when they realized we get to have four more hours tomorrow! I know sounds crazy but they loved this little craft!

Spring Celebration!!

Today we held our annual Spring Celebration! We do this a week or two before Easter so we can separate the "Easter bunny" from Easter. We start our day with finding the hidden spring baskets, I usually put things around spring so we have bubbles and Emma has a ball. Today was also conference so I put in activities to keep their hands busy while listening to conference, note books and pens for notes and some treats to snack on. And of course since I have four girls I have to have pink sparkly eggs!!!
