Daddy's birthday

Brent's birthday was August 30th. The girls jumped in bed with him to tell him happy birthday. He isn't a morning person. When we finally got him out of bed, he took Ivy with him to McDonalds for breakfast. He had to leave his truck at the shop near McDonalds to get the oil changed. Hayley and I walked and went to the store for birthday supper groceries.  We had family time and apple pie!

Reading

I think I have been waiting on this day since the day Ivy was born! Ivy got a Junie B book at the library. She read the book all the way home. She jumped on her bed and red for over an hour maybe it was an hour and half. She only stopped to get up go to the bathroom and jump back in bed. She finished the book and asked if we could go to the library and get another one. God, thank you for teaching Ivy to read and helping her Love it! Please continue to give her a love for reading and learning!

Cheese Pizza Day

After my quiet time this morning, I had five minutes before I knew Hayley would wake up. I jumped on one of my favorite homeschooling blogs to see if there were any new fall ideas.  I saw that today was "national cheese pizza day!" I thought it funny and text Sharon and said, "Why don't you and mom come eat pizza with us for lunch." I thought I would make some little homemade pizzas out of tortillas. Sharon said, "We'll bring you pizza for lunch!" They did! Mom and Sharon both ordered pizza and didn't tell the other. They both brought pizza! We had SO much cheese pizza!  It was a great excuse to have lunch with mom and Sharon. It made for some great fraction math this afternoon. It made Ivy excited and she colored three different pizzas and labeled them. It was with great handwriting and spelling! What a great day!  We ended the day at church with Ms. Tamme and the other kids at church. We had 5 babies crying in the nursery with a few other toddlers mixed in. So thankful for ALL the help in the Nursery. We had at least 25 kids downstairs in Webkids and lots of and lots of adults going in different directions as new small groups started tonight at our church. God, Thank you for being so good to us!

Archeology with Sean

Reading about Archeology! I love their smiles!

"The dig site!"

Sweet gifts from above! I pray they will spur each other on toward their Heavenly Father.

Back on the porch looking through our artifacts! Hayley finds the purple bracelet to chew on!

It was fun for Sean and Michelle to come over and have a fun “educational” play date! The day started with a book about archeology on the couch, then Ivy and Sean used cookie dough to form artifacts, then they watched a Magic School Bus video all about archeology. After the cookies were out of the oven, we all walked down the hill to our “dig site!”  Hayley went too.
