Our children LOVE playing with messy crafts!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We usually try to do a <a href="http://growing3godlygirlz.blogspot.com/search/label/Messy%20Mondays" target="_blank">Messy Monday</a> craft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~Here is a little poem I have posted before and try to keep in mind whenever I have the daunting task of cleaning up after a very "Messy Monday!" LOL.~~</div>

My Homeschool Tour Group <a href="http://growing3godlygirlz.blogspot.com/2012/02/heet-tour-of-kroger-behind-scenes.html" target="_blank">{H.E.E.T}=Home Educators Exploring Together</a> took a tour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of a nearby Apple Orchard. It is family owned and operated and has been around since 1919. The current apple growers are 7th generation apple growers!! All of the apples are picked, sorted and packed BY HAND!! It was an amazing adventure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were able to tour the farm, the orchard, the museum, the packing/sorting area and the warehouse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were also able to pick our own apples to bring home! We also had an informative slideshow presentation in a classroom setting and drank fresh apple cider, too. It was really a neat tour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been to this orchard several times as a family, but it was much more interesting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to view it from the operations end. I have a whole new respect for how hard farmers work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we had an absolutely gorgeous fall day to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enjoy spending some time outside!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">{click on photo to enlarge}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it was so beautiful outside, we attempted to have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a picnic lunch at the farm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSDWI4rnBXpdfBZ81rYQii5dpDL_zb1x7pbQBOYO-x6Sk1S9htBXQduNAstuKEUD6Bn37vmvUGR9bhq97qpq884Vt6V1_DLeAY2Y0SyqJGOP9oz7K1eQubH5Zsgh55uniSDHsl36FoAfhZ/s1600/1picnic.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSDWI4rnBXpdfBZ81rYQii5dpDL_zb1x7pbQBOYO-x6Sk1S9htBXQduNAstuKEUD6Bn37vmvUGR9bhq97qpq884Vt6V1_DLeAY2Y0SyqJGOP9oz7K1eQubH5Zsgh55uniSDHsl36FoAfhZ/s320/1picnic.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, the bees wanted our lunch as much, if not more than, we did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOL. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we headed to the minivan and ate there before driving back to town. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time..be a blessing,</div>

Ready for a really easy, inexpensive and fun craft?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, just pull out some clear contact paper and tissue paper!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{No messy glue to contend with either, LOL}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the younger kids, tearing the tissue paper is a great way to build their fine motor skills (and pre-writing and cutting skills) and for the older ones, cutting the tissue paper is great practice!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls really enjoyed this project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found a really cute idea for a Math Estimation Craft on <a href="http://pinterest.com/ariad/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{hop on over and follow us there} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and decided to give it a try!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our girls love math and love eating, so it was the perfect combinations, LOL;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, just printed off the <a href="http://www.lessonplandiva.com/2012/02/freebies-ideas-and-science-activities.html" target="_blank">estimation worksheet</a> and let the girls get the O's going.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just traced their hands and let the girls estimate how many O's would fit in each.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Em really underestimated hers, but Elle was really close to her actual number!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmSqTXnblEOEVnYPRh9LjObfj6CgDfCAYsFOYPavNjEFghza8tLYxBMMWjA12ITj9QjgpAv7bcmTyPK5G-G8fNAteMtzM-BAsaYq4JcCCClxe5W-wfVRgpIbtFw8uKjOXtjeV_y5U1n5i/s1600/.o's+estimation3g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmSqTXnblEOEVnYPRh9LjObfj6CgDfCAYsFOYPavNjEFghza8tLYxBMMWjA12ITj9QjgpAv7bcmTyPK5G-G8fNAteMtzM-BAsaYq4JcCCClxe5W-wfVRgpIbtFw8uKjOXtjeV_y5U1n5i/s320/.o's+estimation3g.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely a hit and a great follow up to our <a href="http://growing3godlygirlz.blogspot.com/2012/09/heet-kids-cooking-class.html" target="_blank">{H.E.E.T} Apple Cooking Class</a>, where we </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
played an Apple Estimation game as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hands-on learning at its finest--so fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be a Blessing!</div>

Our children love going to the local Art Museum.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been studying various artists in homeschool (<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Brueghel, Inness, Bierstadt, Jacob Lawrence and Piet Mondrian, most recently). We have learned about how artists use various mediums to create different pieces of art and also how they use shapes and lines in different ways.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">It was really fun to take the girls back to the Art Museum armed with knew knowledge about art. They were really interested in looking at the various creations and also creating some art pieces of their own!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">We had a really nice visit and a lively dialogue about the various artists and their work. Practical application, in a hands-on manner, has always been the best part of homeschooling!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_XWVi0BWoQtkfKB5dDRiSOoFdyX9_EyymroNhqSlaQ13-QUNDsJHDuI2m-TCVzVh-Mxd39tPegJZhId7jMWbZhaamw_Z-PSEA9B2I9AcgFwTPsW3i10pEUYRBE5iFn0JHW8P9C1KDZy51/s1600/.1mueseum+2+3g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_XWVi0BWoQtkfKB5dDRiSOoFdyX9_EyymroNhqSlaQ13-QUNDsJHDuI2m-TCVzVh-Mxd39tPegJZhId7jMWbZhaamw_Z-PSEA9B2I9AcgFwTPsW3i10pEUYRBE5iFn0JHW8P9C1KDZy51/s320/.1mueseum+2+3g.jpg" width="197" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the artwork of Elijah Pierce. I was introduced to his work over 20 years ago by a Professional Mentor of mine in college. I was so happy to see a whole gallery of his works at our local museum-what a treat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have a really neat kids' area where they can create funny animals, make sculptures out of wooden dowels, create funny faces using metal instruments and play with dishes (and more)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">We even packed a healthy lunch and enjoyed it at the museum!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a wonderful family outing and very educational!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

We are using Heart of Dakota's History Curriculum and the girls absolutely L-O-V-E it!<br />
I love it as well. It really allows us to use the Bible as a History book and teaches us to view all of timre from creation forward through the lens of God.<br />
<br />
As a part of one of the lessons, the girls made their own personal history/herstory timelines. It was so fun (and bittersweet) to see the girls' baby pictures and their lives all put on paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP9HDafXL2VJzlM_9pqAO1YXf3gmiUKkYBiA0BR09zcIQO2bLnv4trIrW5NcsbnIBC5KubtD86AjE7_0d8GRZX4YFSEk-KjnjeInZyH7hM6PqIT16jEoftWionQgCZDLL3LAAdpCjTwzZb/s1600/.1timeline.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP9HDafXL2VJzlM_9pqAO1YXf3gmiUKkYBiA0BR09zcIQO2bLnv4trIrW5NcsbnIBC5KubtD86AjE7_0d8GRZX4YFSEk-KjnjeInZyH7hM6PqIT16jEoftWionQgCZDLL3LAAdpCjTwzZb/s320/.1timeline.jpg" width="190" /></a></div>
They loved having their own "history" and proudly display them in our home!<br />
Elle had so many years, she had to use 2 papers (sniff, sniff:0).<br />
<br />
This was a really fun project for the girls!<br />
Blessings,<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been so fun planning all of the various themes and menus for the classes and our girls are having a wonderful time testing the recipes at home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cooking is chock full of so many opportunities for learning for children (and adults:). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We talked about the 3 states of matter, measuring, fractions (parts of a whole), nutrition, food groups, math/estimation, and counting. We even included a Story Time with an apple-related theme and a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
letter A coloring page!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We recently had our very first Kids' Cooking Class and it was a huge hit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcSVQ4jozAu-QkBQs0nqDuolSamTLbwcDsTHUJTQICgYx1Zj1tNFSssR5TFskTnzZ_E-5ahXwyQ_8PzVpnXykDaab_qQ94QQr6RaeMI6OlLTQ6hdTrdZBpFFAzuWd59c5ocVga3V84VroY/s1600/1+3g+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcSVQ4jozAu-QkBQs0nqDuolSamTLbwcDsTHUJTQICgYx1Zj1tNFSssR5TFskTnzZ_E-5ahXwyQ_8PzVpnXykDaab_qQ94QQr6RaeMI6OlLTQ6hdTrdZBpFFAzuWd59c5ocVga3V84VroY/s320/1+3g+collage.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our theme was "Fall into Apple Fun!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The menu included: Apple Poppers dipped in natural Peanut Butter, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chicken Waldorf Sandwich Skewers w/Greek Yogurt Dip</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Apple Crisp with homemade Whipped Cream.<br />
<br />
The kids were so happy to have hands-on lessons and were amazed that they could change cream into homemade "cool whip!" I was energized and inspired by the young kiddos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were so smart, so fun and really great listeners!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I received excellent feedback from the kids and their parents and plan </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on teaching more classes in the future!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be a Blessing,</div>

It's no secret~~~~I LOVE to eat :D!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love to cook, so it usually works out pretty well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJxnPe5ITQ9cX6mkj1h0TVoCiqhe6vurqAbEBteuM_sSCYdfduqsry2mrE7xFvYMv5pQ3N3nLH58WXDTj3sqaHdJBTCZTyc7XpLxrY32UeDOcdaGe9ROjlRoqpk8ecgxe3XPBD9gjUIrL/s1600/11111+syl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJxnPe5ITQ9cX6mkj1h0TVoCiqhe6vurqAbEBteuM_sSCYdfduqsry2mrE7xFvYMv5pQ3N3nLH58WXDTj3sqaHdJBTCZTyc7XpLxrY32UeDOcdaGe9ROjlRoqpk8ecgxe3XPBD9gjUIrL/s320/11111+syl.jpg" width="217" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With marriage, homeschooling, parenting, working from home and all the other life tasks that overwhelm our schedules, I needed a SIMPLE Menu Planning Process that works for me. I usually plan to have "Taco Tuesday", along with 2 chicken meals and a fish meal each week. We sometimes throw in "Brinner" {breakfast for dinner} if the week is extra hectic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to browse <a href="http://pinterest.com/ariad/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> for new food ideas!!!! {Hop on over and follow me there!} I also love to look for ideas in cookbooks I check out from the library.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually try to put a new recipe or 2 into our rotation as our schedule allows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can usually pretty much plan to cook 5-6 nights per week and do a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
double-batch cooking session on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This makes eating healthy foods easy and we also eat the leftovers for lunch during the homeschool week, which simplifies things there as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So......here is my "Ever So Elaborate" {not} Menu Planning Process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~{insert drum roll here}~~~~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, that is IT!!! A simple notepad from the Dollar Store!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See.... told you it was SIMPLE :-D. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2l2LQWm0NzgkxF113RrGbBQBfitDtE-579DlzQRCux5g21NeTHFFhHxd3tEn3ehDyEu2o4yXB4XH3wBNPqxwsjlSfUZJTjC9e7OG3hlTeUHeUpgzH0eQuxRPceibFjehTXfk6q_pBYp8/s1600/,01+menu+planning+cookbooks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz2l2LQWm0NzgkxF113RrGbBQBfitDtE-579DlzQRCux5g21NeTHFFhHxd3tEn3ehDyEu2o4yXB4XH3wBNPqxwsjlSfUZJTjC9e7OG3hlTeUHeUpgzH0eQuxRPceibFjehTXfk6q_pBYp8/s320/,01+menu+planning+cookbooks.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this is what I do every Sunday-usually while the kids nap. I make a nice cup of tea, gather my cookbooks, pull up my Pinterest food ideas and write out what I want to make each day and make a grocery list for the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is that SIMPLE!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I saw the idea to make Rainbow Colored Spaghetti on <a href="http://pinterest.com/ariad/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a><br />
{hop on over and follow me there} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and decided to give it a try!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But....I also wanted to see if we could somehow come up with some mock turkey meatballs:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I used some white craft foam balls and had the girls paint them brownish/red.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-vVLbN0JN5Dcu9hATFuwYvhp7vue63AcrK2J4f1bag1bf4_CjXjcHXRS8FRiX-1KIAAtsogRURhhA1xR6JYqD3FcLbUbCwloyzL18CrVhClzOPmr1dsEoDS3movwSu0EYb6UvtS3Wena/s1600/meatballs+edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-vVLbN0JN5Dcu9hATFuwYvhp7vue63AcrK2J4f1bag1bf4_CjXjcHXRS8FRiX-1KIAAtsogRURhhA1xR6JYqD3FcLbUbCwloyzL18CrVhClzOPmr1dsEoDS3movwSu0EYb6UvtS3Wena/s320/meatballs+edit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">{click on photo to enlarge}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think they looked more like chocolate, but hey, the girls didn't mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While the meatballs dried, we made the colored pasta.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was really simple to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just used some cheap white spaghetti noodles, placed in boiling water and added food coloring to the water. I cooked it to al dente and let it cool. I then tossed it in some oil once it dried to make sure it didn't stick together. I think adding the oil was a really necessary improvement on the original Pin b/c the spaghetti would've just been a dry, sticky mess otherwise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Since trying ours, I have read that you can let the spaghetti soak in the food coloring water to get a more vibrant coloring. We didn't want to wait that long, but may try it next time.*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOdWeEpG8Mi1pf3h-4WOHnF_jFz6jANHGNOSzNazwRn6vttJokUseGEDCGHmXXWr6k2ZGSLBwTftVtYkFBWZ31iDACDJau0H4Q38zOJ2Yb1OJ_DvMyiO9wTmeyRDPgoxOHx6Uljig-CU_/s1600/1spaghetti+collage+edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNOdWeEpG8Mi1pf3h-4WOHnF_jFz6jANHGNOSzNazwRn6vttJokUseGEDCGHmXXWr6k2ZGSLBwTftVtYkFBWZ31iDACDJau0H4Q38zOJ2Yb1OJ_DvMyiO9wTmeyRDPgoxOHx6Uljig-CU_/s320/1spaghetti+collage+edit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls had a really, really great time playing with the colored spaghetti!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was SHOCKED at how long this kept them occupied. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously, they loved it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And, yes, our silly girls wanted to EAT it, LOL:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't let them, but it was so hilarious to watch them pretend to eat it!!<br />
I was even able to cook their actual meatball and spaghetti dinner while they happily played with their rainbow spaghetti!!! That NEVER happens!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whole wheat spaghetti and home made chicken and spinach meatballs---yummy!<br />
<br />
Gotta love a cheap, fun and messy craft!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you going to make it?</div>

We have a membership to our local Science Museum and LOVE going there!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am realizing that it is {finally} getting much easier to venture out with all 3 girls on fun adventures. I can pack a healthy lunch (and not have to worry about nursing a baby/toddler). It is actually becoming enjoyable for me, too LOL. <br />
<br />
Can any other Moms relate to this?<br />
<br />
Anyway, I digress....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, Elle wanted to watch surgical procedures and child birth videos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVqqOmaP9xUqSQOSrjP6N2LnA9BwpcbHENe_IEttrkhsl3Pvq4YLJREmZSciib3ihugachEVyfFQerLRMFcBVnd_VkCx1yNDlvCxU3HmLafrN6B7-zq061ypunjv_ZQL8UJRcD9JUzUoX/s1600/.ce+ce+surgery+belly.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVqqOmaP9xUqSQOSrjP6N2LnA9BwpcbHENe_IEttrkhsl3Pvq4YLJREmZSciib3ihugachEVyfFQerLRMFcBVnd_VkCx1yNDlvCxU3HmLafrN6B7-zq061ypunjv_ZQL8UJRcD9JUzUoX/s320/.ce+ce+surgery+belly.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to post this picture separately. I cracked up at Ce Ce telling us what was happening in the video. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elle was watching a c-section procedure and Ce Ce, very smartly, showed the baby being taken out of the Mom's belly:)<br />
<br />
Silly girl---She cracks me up!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ce Ce's favorite activity was the water table area! She never wants to leave there. I finally started packing a change of clothes for her because she gets totally soaked---and loves it! I guess she is like her Daddy with loving water!<br />
Em always loves anything animal-related and loves playing in the kitchen area.<br />
<br />
This visit was very bittersweet for me, though.<br />
<br />
Elle is getting too big to play in the kids' play area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You see, we have had a membership to the Science Museum since Elle was 1 or 2 years old!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Elle at age 2. I was pregnant with Em.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Elle has always LOVED playing Doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe she will actually become a Doctor some day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter what...she will always be my BABY!!</div>

Our family loves exploring new places. Last Sunday after church, my husband and I decided to check out our local State History Center. We had never been there before, and the girls had a BLAST!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mind you, they were dressed in "church clothes", and I was totally unprepared with our snack bag and waters, so we only spent a couple of hours there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this would be a PERFECT location for a <a href="http://growing3godlygirlz.blogspot.com/2012/02/heet-tour-of-kroger-behind-scenes.html" target="_blank">{H.E.E.T} TOUR</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a sneak peak of our History Center visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a really neat museum that also has a Village set up just like it would've looked in the late 1800's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are houses, a church, a school house, a government building, bank, funeral home, pharmacy, town center, hotel/boarding house, community garden and more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imagine me trying to explain what a Telegraph was!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I learn as much, if not more, as our children do while homeschooling:-)!</div>

I arranged for our Homeschool Group called {H.E.E.T=Home Educators Exploring Together}, to go on a tour of a local Popcorn Factory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids had SO much fun on this tour--maybe because their favorite snack is popcorn:)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrHR-5-HFtBLPExw4EUnz6z6EadCntaax1E6-3BbcjIcKAQM9iQEBi6umrNO4kSLS1WSksdynfgux2Sqwz_AFKhzwnU49r7oRYPQ97T52CGJqfIyK8Xdf7JGk34V-2mCst9O0jHdOOcCF/s1600/1collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIrHR-5-HFtBLPExw4EUnz6z6EadCntaax1E6-3BbcjIcKAQM9iQEBi6umrNO4kSLS1WSksdynfgux2Sqwz_AFKhzwnU49r7oRYPQ97T52CGJqfIyK8Xdf7JGk34V-2mCst9O0jHdOOcCF/s320/1collage.jpg" width="289" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids watched an educational video that described the history of the family-owned business and also the production process. The owner then facilitated a "Q&A" Session and the kids got to samples lots and lots of popcorn! The store has over 70 different flavors, from mild to sweet to savory and spicy!
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We even picked up bags of recycled popcorn to feed to the birds, ducks and squirrels!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was loads of fun and well worth the trip! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Plus, it was FREE!</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What kind of fun outings have you all been on lately?</div>

I thought it would be fun to start a "back-to-school tradition" and since I am so health-conscious most of the time, I really wanted our children to get excited about it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So.................I came up with the idea to make "Smart Cookies" and use the positive affirmation phrase of "I am a smart cookie" to get the girls super-excited about another great year of homeschool!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioC5rrkTSzfrzoLj5YAV6kt1CvpbbpTlWkRJwrHYqiO9tBb_D4zVbI1w_LBWH7Qdgt5DcYMoJeuPN_zmPuEUfe_MaCKTIhSsT2QN6rTP_TAgV9tSWlcPcR9WLsDDAiOZpVhJoy584GCc23/s1600/1smart+cookies+collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioC5rrkTSzfrzoLj5YAV6kt1CvpbbpTlWkRJwrHYqiO9tBb_D4zVbI1w_LBWH7Qdgt5DcYMoJeuPN_zmPuEUfe_MaCKTIhSsT2QN6rTP_TAgV9tSWlcPcR9WLsDDAiOZpVhJoy584GCc23/s320/1smart+cookies+collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, the girls LOVED the idea of baking cookies!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used this super simple <a href="http://bakingbites.com/2008/07/mini-vanilla-wafer-cookies/" target="_blank">recipe</a> for Vanilla Wafers and adjusted our oven temp lower for the bigger letters. Elle came up with the idea of making letters/initials for their first names and since I already had the cookie dough in the piping bag, it was super easy and quick to pipe out the rest of the "smart cookies!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still cannot believe how fast our girls are growing up!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep trying to find the "life brake," </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but, to no avail....*sigh*. If you locate it, please steer me in the right direction!:)</div>

Elle even made a blanket for them:-).<br />
She authored two books, "The Book of Hugs" and "Different Hugs."<br />
They are really cute stories!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Hey, is there a 'rule' on how long you all keep your children's crafts?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can imagine, we easily gather a TON of STUFF. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you rotate it out and know when it's time to throw things away?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Em is one of the sweetest, funniest and adventurous kids you'd ever want to meet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was such an "easy" baby to deliver {3 pushes and she was OUT}, but she really keeps me on my toes {and on my knees in prayer} at times! She is just FULL of personality and has the best attitude. If something doesn't go her way, she says, "that's OK, maybe tomorrow I can do/have/eat that." She really is a blessing to my soul and I learn how to have FUN with her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love and appreciate how Em is her own individual. She really enjoys playing and creating things on her own and she definitely has her own sense of style. I believe she has a very strong self-esteem and I love that about her. I will tell her, "Em, your outfit sure is colorful/creative today" and she will say, "I know, thanks!" Ha, ha!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing that is absolutely true about this girl is {just like her Mommy} she LOVES to EAT!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a good thing I feed her healthy foods and no fast food, or else she would weigh 300 pounds!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She eats non-stop! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For her birthday, Em requested Daddy's special stuffed french toast for breakfast, smoothies and popcorn for lunch and broccoli with cheese sauce and asian chicken for dinner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made carrot-zucchini muffins with cream cheese frosting as her bday cupcakes-everyone LOVED them and they were much healthier than store-bought cupcakes!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We surprised the girls with a trip to the zoo for Em's birthday. My brother gifted Morgan a trip to the zoo--thank you Uncle Teddy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got up at the crack of dawn and packed up the minivan with everything we needed, included all of our food, water and snacks for the day. The girls had NO idea what was going on. We told them we needed to go to the store and when we ended up at the Zoo, they were overjoyed!!!!!!</div>

We have been having glorious weather here and have continued to spend a lot of our days outdoors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls and I will be so sad when Winter comes:(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most recently, Elle and Em both attended Cooking School for a couple of days. They LOVED it and it reconfirmed my interest in teaching a Homeschool Kids' Cooking Class this fall! The girls are going to absolutely love taking the class and also assisting me in teaching it! I am so looking forward to it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elle attending a church Day Camp for 3 days while Em attended Gymnastics Camp {maybe the next Gabby Douglas}! They both thoroughly enjoyed their camps and it was good for them to have some time pursuing their separate interests and building new friendships while there. They DID miss each other terribly, though!! And, the baby-----well, she was UNDONE every single day! I had a hard time keeping her happy! She was ready to pick the girls back up (or never leave them) by 10am daily! CeCe and I took trips to the library,{where she could roam around}, the pond, feeding the ducks, mall play area, and doing some fun crafts. When I had both Em and CeCe, we went to "Ladies' Lunch"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at our favorite Thai restaurant! When we were all together, we had a wonderful picnic lunch in the park!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
CeCe LOVED having the one-on-one time to explore and have me all to herself!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
We really did enjoy having special time just me and Ce Ce, though. It made me think back to when Elle was a baby and how much I enjoyed having one child. Having 3 in 4 years really has limited the amount of time each child has gotten to spend with just myself and/or my husband. So, we have committed to each child having some special time and we will rotate each month according to when their birthdays are. My husband and I also agreed it would be a wonderful idea for us to commemorate our anniversary on the 5th of every month with a date night {at home or away from the house, once we can find a trusted sitter}. We have already had some special time with the girls and they LOVE, love, loved it!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The girls really enjoyed this Messy Monday Experiment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have also been trying to squeeze in as many play dates with our friends as possible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So sad that summer is winding down, but gearing up for another wonderful school year!</div>

Hello! I hope you all are doing well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to tell you, one of the biggest blessings of homeschooling is having OPTIONS and flexibility. We really can pick and choose what we want to focus on and how we will deliver the info to our children. I LOVE that!! We also treat each child with an individual approach in regards to homeschooling. "Each child, each year" is our motto. We will see who needs what and make necessary adjustments as we go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the other hand, one of the biggest drawbacks of homeschooling is having too many options, LOL. It can be overwhelming. I tend to want to expose our children to all sorts of fun activities and get them a lot of social interaction. Our girls seem to love being on the move, but it can be very tiring. I have to ensure that we ALL get adequate rest! We are considering karate, ballet/tap, gymnastics, music/piano classes, homeschool gym, and will continue with our {H.E.E.T} Homeschool Tours this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been praying (along with my husband) about what we will do for this upcoming school year and we have made the decision to try different things. While the kiddos are young, why not? What is there to lose? We can stop mid-stream if we need to (another benefit of homeschooling) and re-direct to a better fit. I love that:-)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In an effort to streamline things in life, I will probably do less blogging about all 3 children's educational paths individually. I want to keep an online record of their achievements and such, but my heart is telling me to pull back a bit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2012/08/the-very-best-way-to-schedule-your-life-the-law-of-life/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HolyExperience+%28Holy+Experience%29" target="_blank">this blog post</a> and it totally confirmed what my heart has long been telling me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So......here is our curriculum!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqW1fovJ4gMUVdU1lOp6w8z4TCAZ_l8QG4VVX5mtgAE91bCr1X0oM8KEN2WmC9k-a7yNWAEQci-TNbdIiDE6oaLsDCZqVPm6c__RwjwQ6hN6bFSkF0DlIMrxcqgPuLBS38oRqe6Jkk8X6/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqW1fovJ4gMUVdU1lOp6w8z4TCAZ_l8QG4VVX5mtgAE91bCr1X0oM8KEN2WmC9k-a7yNWAEQci-TNbdIiDE6oaLsDCZqVPm6c__RwjwQ6hN6bFSkF0DlIMrxcqgPuLBS38oRqe6Jkk8X6/s320/020.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with our weekly Bible Memory Verses, we are using "Leading Little Ones to God" and some really neat Bible Story cards for Tiny Tots!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGOnEgZDkQzomMW42d3YytI_j2Uasd-m0mLquSRcfwp17U6U2N4Ir3so0T_33OkOdrxubpwpGmIr5UhBrdD55HYPEKvZSdvYWU9R7vNj-nvPRJlPNWQGvCVrEg9UoiMba9SbmzxG0OyEH/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGOnEgZDkQzomMW42d3YytI_j2Uasd-m0mLquSRcfwp17U6U2N4Ir3so0T_33OkOdrxubpwpGmIr5UhBrdD55HYPEKvZSdvYWU9R7vNj-nvPRJlPNWQGvCVrEg9UoiMba9SbmzxG0OyEH/s320/021.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Em will turn 4 tomorrow, so we will really be focusing on her reading this year. We are using "Teach Your child to Read in 20 easy lessons" for her. She also really loves using the Starfall website! I am on the fence with her having an August birthday. I am just no sure how to pace her for Kindergarten. This year will allow me to assess where she is and we can decide what is best for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOwDBLc7Q77sN5aepdClfugnOewWCA1l0CJm_HcHxtbxzFt8JPwxj1P6DQ3OXOBUgchXgpVWlAx1jHBoMRAj0Hf9zLOb-S3am3r5Gl5zh3L1xH3Ua55VyKUMTfYpOl1HiUp1JtycS9NIy/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOwDBLc7Q77sN5aepdClfugnOewWCA1l0CJm_HcHxtbxzFt8JPwxj1P6DQ3OXOBUgchXgpVWlAx1jHBoMRAj0Hf9zLOb-S3am3r5Gl5zh3L1xH3Ua55VyKUMTfYpOl1HiUp1JtycS9NIy/s320/023.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Core Curriculum for Em (age 4) will be "Little Hearts for His Glory (for ages 5-7)." It has lessons plans for the entire year, all Bible-based! We are using "the World God Made" and "History for Little Pilgrims" for history and social studies/geography. I LOVE being able to have a curriculum that is God-focused so that our children learn from a young age to view the world through the eyes of Christians.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am going very lightly with Em in Math this year. Just some fun lessons as we go. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Em will be working on some handwriting and other fun workbooks as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, we will make our weekly voyage to the library and check out 100 books and do lots of arts and crafts, too!<br />
<br />
For Elle{age 6}, we are using an online school that will allow her to advance on her own and get evaluated by a certified teacher. She will continue to participate in our homeschool lessons, most importantly, the Bible Lessons and will let us know when she needs more challenging material. Elle has completed half of the first grade math workbook already, and is also working ahead in other subjects. She just can't get enough!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For CeCe {age 2}, well, I will be busy just trying to keep her occupied while I focus on the bigger girls. She will continue with fun "Tot School" activities, and will likely try to keep pace with the big girls!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my daily prayer!!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also want to be a HAPPY homeschool Mom who enjoys educating my children, but also just being their Mom;-). I read this <a href="http://thisadventurelife.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/ten-habits-of-happy-homeschooling-moms/" target="_blank">wonderful list</a> and it inspired me to draft my own list of habits I will cultivate this year in order to be a bit happier along this journey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Homeschooling is certainly a 24/7 job and I don't want to risk burning out so early in the process! We have a LONG road ahead of us. I need to train like an Olympic Athlete and build up my endurance, pace myself and get enough rest. I am hanging up my "super mom" cape and journeying to abide in the grace of God and teach that to our children.<br />
<br />
Blessings,</div>

Hi! I hope this post finds you well! I wanted to post a quick update on us. <br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>{Click on any of the photos to enlarge them}</b></span><br />
We have continued to do homeschool work this summer (mainly math and phonics) in preparation for officially starting our school year in a few weeks. I am so glad we never got totally out of the "school flow" so that it won't be such a shock when we delve back in 100%. Elle is about half way done with her first grade math work book and Em is starting to really get a hang of reading. She will turn 4 next week!<br />
<br />
Here are some of our recent adventures and fun while learning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIzeTqx9wpH9OwU0k7ycpzDpIKO9J4LD_YNDU-zsHii6fwTzfKG5lTBK52xNBZIqhOSSdPcYwAowDoCUWJXrY73S7yjGldUnJ-4otsc9tYkdQdp4PzH6Pm_uqO3M62ebpNVlcm4MlzO5K/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIzeTqx9wpH9OwU0k7ycpzDpIKO9J4LD_YNDU-zsHii6fwTzfKG5lTBK52xNBZIqhOSSdPcYwAowDoCUWJXrY73S7yjGldUnJ-4otsc9tYkdQdp4PzH6Pm_uqO3M62ebpNVlcm4MlzO5K/s320/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our family spent some time at the State Fair and had a wonderful time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all were shocked that the baby, Ce Ce 26 months, wanted to ride all of the "big girl" rides! None of us were prepared for that. She is the one that never even goes on the little pony ride at the grocery store, LOL. I guess she really is growing up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elle made a really cool obstacle course and all of the girls had a great time playing with that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been doing lots of crafts this summer--tons of painting, collecting things on nature walks and observing beauty all around us. We made bird feeders out of rice cakes, peanut butter and bird seed and the girls hung them on the tree in our front yard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The birds really loved them-we need to make them again.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We also made Microwave Puffy Paint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We always love creating fun art using this technique!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You should try it! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have strung popcorn for movie nights and such, but seeing this on Pinterest reminded me of making these cereal and pretzel bracelets. The girls had a ball making them and eating them! It kept them occupied in the mini-van for a long time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been H-O-T here! We have tried to spend time outside when the weather has allowed. We always love being out in nature! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few highlights of our summer thus far:<br />

~Our family traveled to Georgia to visit my mother and grandmother and other family. We had a great visit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~We suffered through extreme summer thunderstorms and lost power our a four day stretch. We ended up going to a hotel and the girls LOVED it---me, not so much, LOL;) We did have a lot of fun and were able to re-set our priorities and God's grace abounded during this difficult time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~One of our closest friends had a beautiful baby boy---we love snuggling with him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
~Em has been reading using Starfall and really, really enjoys it!</div>
