Crafty Fun at Homeschool 4H

Today was finally a day out...everything has been cancelled all month!! But 4h was a go today! Blake is taking a Herpetology class...which I did not know what that even meant but it is the study of Reptiles. As much as I dont like reptiles, his class is awesome and has great field trips in the future. The class is also making a lapbook (great for the portfolio). Camye started Jewerly making class today!! And it was awesome!!
Above is Camye and her friend Ashlee, waiting for it to begin.

Camye made a beautiful keychain where we learned all sorts of different techniques. Yes her lips are chapped and she wont quit licking them!!

Cute as a button!!!Notice her cute ring ..Ashlee made her an adorable rosering made out of pipe cleaners!!!

Chloe our Heart and Home 4h President, she did an excellent job today! She is finishing a course in Rocketry. It was a 2 semester class.

A great day to be OUT of the house!! Now hoping and praying co-op wont be cancelled in the morning...doesnt looking promising..4-6 inches tonight!!! and more in the morning!!

I have been bitten by a ...CRICUT!!!!

Isnt this beautiful??!!! This is my Cricut!! I love it!! I have been wanting one for a while now ever since I used a good friends to help with my kids L2L scrapbooks. Only they are done..and I need to get back to my scrapbooking.
By the way..Joann Fabrics has this on sale for $89 until March 6th. Regular price $199.99!!!

It comes with one cartridge and it is soooo awesome!!!

Menu Planning

I know its not Monday yet!! But I am trying to be ahead of the game.

Here goes!!

Sunday- Beef, Peppers, Onion Fajitas Sub Sandwhiches

Tuesday- Chicken Penne Pasta

Wednesday- Tacos

Thursday- Leftovers

Friday- Trying the ole Hospitality thing again...who knows what the weather may bring us by Friday...but we do have plans for friends to come over.

Creamy Chicken Casserole, Party Potatoes, Green Beans and Bread

Tired of seeing my snow pictures...

Believe it or not I am not tired of seeing the snow...tired of everything being slick and being cancelled. We havent had co-op in 2 weeks. Family Game Night at our church was cancelled tonight...but friends called to invite us over and we are headed over there.

We do still have about 20 inches on the ground. We did have freezing rain the other night and that melted the snow down a little bit. I just hope it melts slowly so we dont flood everyone down south of us (where my family lives).

When this snow storm hit..we didnt even have a snow shovel..because who needs a shovel for 6-8 inches at a time..which is all we have had at once since we moved here!!! My mom did get the kids snow shovels. Thank good ness!! THey have helped.

But my hubby thought we needed more than a snow shovel and he got a Polaris 6x6!! Very awesome!! He is a plowing maniac!! Thought this photo was beautiful!!! Love my house!!

L2L Update 2010

Okay here is my little update.
Scrapbooks- Did I say last time they were almost done? Well now they are really almost done.LOL!!
Puppets- WoW!! I am so impressed with m y 8th grade team!! They are doing awesome! We are having a little puppet boot camp for the 3rd graders on Saturday afternoon, since thanks to my cousin Stephanie I realized the puppet stage is 12 inches shorter than the regular stage. That will help them tremondously. This is our first year doing puppets..give me a break.
Bible Bowl- The written test is Saturday night..we have been cramming
Bible Bowl team- Chloe, Blake, Caleb A and Abbie
Pearls- Test on Sunday
Speech- Camye is finally reading her in less than 5 minutes!! I had to cut more out. Blake is doing awesome and showing lots of personality. Chloe has decided to redo hers!!!AWWHHH!!! 13 years old is soooo hard!!!

This is us walking in our driveway! This is one of those panaramic views..(I think it is what it is called). Sorry I had to shrink it to get to load on here.

Paul dug himself out a little seat..:) Since he couldn't walk in it very well with out losing a boot or two!!

GORGEOUS!!! I just love this beautiful site!!

We had to dig out a little path for the dogs. SInce they are only 9 inches or so tall, there first step buried them. Whenever I can get out of my house, I will post the video of the dogs first attempt in the snow.

Wednesday- Chicken Fajitas

We have company coming over again..2 families have been invited still waiting on RSVP's. We did have it last week when we had a family over. I know I fixed lasagna last week when we had company. But the one family I am pretty sure will come over has 5 kids..I need kid friendly food. I hope that is not tacky. Kenny thought it sounded great...different people and what are the chances they would talk about what they ate here.LOL!!!
