Last week was such a busy week for us
that I wasn't able to share until today.
Later in the week we were blessed with a rare SNOW
that we enjoyed immensely!
Much of Saturday was spent out-of-doors in it!
During the week, however, we did enjoy the pleasures
of learning at home (and many other things) together...
Carolynne practicing her reading skills
Beth reading a chapter of the book she is narrating to me
Will enjoying a math lesson
Ally and Carolynne coloring together
Will and Beth enjoying our new Homeschoolopoly together
Mama and Carolynne enjoying Homeschoolopoly together
(and Suzie) ;o)
Most of our week was spent at home, which was a blessing.
On Friday, we met with our Keepers of the Faith group
and enjoyed a lesson on loving others, as well as,
learning some sign language.
Also on Friday, we enjoyed our sourdough pizza night
with our usual friends and had a young Marine friend
and his father (who traveled from out-of-state
and stayed the weekend) with us.
It was a real joy!
This Marine's family blessed us with with homebaked goodies
and 14 dozen farm fresh eggs (from their farm)!
What a blessing!
We enjoyed our weekend of fellowship with them.
In addition to our Friday, we were blessed with SNOW!
(Friday night's photos are at this post.)
We just couldn't get enough of it on Saturday either!
The first thing the children did on Saturday morning
was head outside to admire the snowfall...
And Suzie, too...
Ally enjoyed her quiet time in it...
Later they began making a snowman...
Which was distracted by a snowball fight, of course...
Not everyone enjoyed the snowballing the same way.
Carolynne, for instance, enjoyed the snowballs
but not throwing them... she preferred to eat them...
And Ally enjoyed the snowballing
but she did much of the receiving... lol
Oh, and Suzie, too, enjoyed the snowballing...
but she liked it as Carolynne did...
Then back to work on the snowman...
Sunglasses and all...
By the end of the day
we started to see him fade away
and we have, yet, to determine if
it was the warmer temps
or for other reasons pictured below... lol

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."

I *think* I know who made the children's snow hats :)
What fun! Bill even looked like he had fun in the snow ;).
I think you all are getting more snow than us this year hehe.
Thanks for sharing the pictures
~Amy
I am trying to find your tutorial on making a dress from a shirt and some material that you did with or for the little girls. Can you send me the link or blog page? Thanks for the wonderful blogging!
Rosie ~ lol If you're thinking Ally, you're correct. She made those for the children for Christmas last year. ;o)
Amy ~ I thought you would notice Bill having fun in the snow. LOL And he was! I was sure to throw in a few 'snow-friendly' remarks... reminding him how nice it would be to have that kind of fun more often and how sipping coffee and plowing parking lots could be a real delight for him... but he wasn't so easily persuaded. ha ha Oh well... we'll just have to settle for visits to MI. ;o)
Claudia ~ The link to my t-shirt dress tutorial is found here: http://hskubes.blogspot.com/search/label/Keepers%20at%20Home ;o)

HA! I am so glad you enjoyed the snow!! I really do love remembering how much others enjoy it so much. It helps me deal with it. And we stil have loads of it. Do you?
Madeleine ~ Unfortunately, all of our snow has already melted. But we did enjoy it while it lasted. We do have a very small portion of snow that melted from our snowman. It's about the size of a saucer. lol
I've never heard of Homeschoolopoly until seeing it here today. Do you all like it? It looks fun!
Bev ~ It is very similar to Monopoly except with a homeschool theme. We do like it. Here is a link with some pics of the game up close:
