See my painting!!
Cheese!!
Yesterday (Friday) we had art in school. We are working on making paper lanterns for our lantern walk in a couple weeks. We started out by painting with water colors on watercolor paper to classical music. This was Savannah's first experience with painting. She painted like a pro! By the time we were finished she had pretty blue spatters all over her and a blue smudge above her lip. I will have more updates to come as this particular project takes a few art classes to finish. After clean up we piled into the van and ventured off on a nature walk. We went over across the street from McNeel school (mom, you will recognize the pictures Im sure) and took a nice walk. It was a beautiful day. We took pictures and collected many seed pods as well. We even saw ducks and geese swimming in the water.
After our lovely walk we piled back into the van and came home. Jessica was getting ready for a trip. She is on her way to Ontario Canada with our minister's family. They invited her to come, and since she knows a girl about an hour away from where the minister has to preach on Sunday she accepted. She met this girl at Bible school and has kept in touch with her ever since. I will have to let you know how that goes. It is a 15 hour drive to get there and I have not heard from her yet today. We expect her to be back home sometime on Monday. We have been enjoying some very nice weather this past couple of days. On Wednesday I didn't really feel like going to the children's book club in Chemung (near Harvard IL) so we went to the library (in Rockton) storyhour and then on to the South Beloit library(we go to 2 different libraries). After gathering a nice array of fresh reading we came home and ate a quick lunch of homemade pizza and pears, and then went on to visit grandma and grandpa. The children had just as much fun doing this alternative activity as they would have had in Chemung. Today we will be doing some music and a sewing instruction class (here at home). It is time for Olivia and Abigail to begin some sewing lessons from mama!
Take care everybody!
