H week

We had a good week- we were Home more this week than we planned on but it was good. 

Here's having fun with Homeschool soccer

We always enjoy our family devotion near Halloween when James carves the pumpkin and we tell the pumpkin parable. This year we added yummy pumpkin pecan cobbler. so good! 

Here's round 1 of costumes- we were going to our homeschool fall festival:
2 pirates, 1 princess, 1 karate kid, 1 butterfly, and 1 soccer goalie
 We had a great time at the homeschool fall festival- balloon, egg, 3 legged, and potato sack races, bowling, haystack finds, and more fun!
I lead the 1st -3rd graders. when our group got bigger, we split into boys and girls. Little C was happy when she left the big kids to go join her age- especially since her friend T was there!

Helping out friends and Having fun! bunch of boys building forts!

Happy baby, happy daddy. (and Happy mommy since I got to go out all by myself for a Hair cut and some alone time!)

Hanging out at the soccer field- cheering for two games!

Friends, Fall, Field Trips, Feathered Friends

can you guess what week it is?

How does this pic Fit with F week?
We no longer Fill up our van- bigger van = room For Friends!
We got to use our new van For Field trips and Friends this week. We went back up to Hubbs Corn Maze and had a great time.

KG had a hurt knee last year and couldn't do all the fun things so she was extra excited this year!

T took 100+ pics of this cutie!

Then they needed to rest in the corn bath!



Kids's new favorite fun at Hubbs- human Foosball

I only got two by the growth chart this time- since Foosball was so fun!

I also didn't get a picture of T's egg salad. the kids are each picking a meal to make this week and T wanted his to fit with E!

D Week:

 Still haven't blogged much but a picture is worth a thousand words right!

We went on a nice field trip to Clark Park for a Native American class. The instructor was very good and the kids did great. Only v didn't listen :) Even c sat quietly the whole time in the class. This dinosaur even made it fit with D week :)

Of course are biggest D connection was Donuts! We mad pumpkin and Double chocolate. We also made Date nut muffins and Date Bars. 

And Dinner with Daddy was the biggest highlight so far. All the D baking tired me out! so we Decided to go use our Book it coupons! 

Then we went Driving in the Drizzling rain to Donuts with Daddy! (so much better than Donuts when we drop off Daddy)

And I got to go on a Daughter Date! we celebrated KG half birthday with lunch out- just us!

well and this adorable little guy!

And finished out the week with Darts for Devotion!
