It's Just Another Day in the Park

Well it has been one crazy week! Our laptop's hard drive crashed and I lost all of my homeschool books, documents, resources, and all of my pictures. It was a little rough, and I am just now starting to be able to regroup.

This week is my spring break, so we have done a few fun things in addition to our regular school work. Although it was snowing on Monday, by today it was 80 degrees (crazy weather we have here) so we managed to go to the park and the zoo this week, in addition to visiting Chuck E Cheese for a cousin's birthday and competing in our last JBQ match of the season.  Here are a few highlights from our week:


Isabella won 6th place in bible quiz!


My niece, Aubrey, on the swing!


At the park (Alex loves the penguins!)




The new polar bear at our local zoo!









Isabella eating pizza at her cousin's birthday party.


Alex could hardly eat because they had a show on the stage and he wanted to hug Chuck E Cheese!

Art- Sewing Purses!

I have been teaching a sewing class at our homeschool co-op for weeks now and yesterday we finally finished our purses! I am so proud to share what these girls have done with you! We got the patterns from a book called I made it Myself which has tons of cute craft ideas for young girls and teenagers...

 























Aren't they all so adorable? Most of these girls are around 8 years old, they did a great job!
