Countdown 1...2...3...4.................24 to Our Savior's Birth Wreath

The idea for this project came from the December Family Fun Magazine.  The Family Fun magazine is such a great idea magazine. Ours is slightly altered by the tulle wrapped around the wreath and the glitter on the sides of the circles.  The girls helped do a lot of the painting of the wreath and the individual circles and adding the glitter.  I did the tulle and the hot gluing.  I'm liking it and if it holds up maybe we'll do this again next year!

Busy & Crazy Lately!

I feel bad that I have not posted for quite some time now.  Things have been a little busy and crazy lately.  My husband and girls have been enduring a cold and I've been busy preparing for my youngest daughter's birthday party.  I have a feeling though that things are not going to calm down a whole lot until the beginning of the year.  After we celebrate our daughter's birthday I'll share what we did and how it went.

This is a hint as to the theme of the birthday party!

I recently joined a NYS homeschooling group LEAH and have attended two meetings.  So glad that I did!  I think that the group will be encouraging and helpful as I decide what/how I will homeschool my girls.  You can check them out here at www.leah.org


One activity that I recently did with my girls was to clean off and examine some stones and fossils with toothbrushes, squirt and spray bottles.  This was a great activity that kept them busy for a good length of time.
