Enjoying a Beautiful Autumn Day

Wow...it's been over 70 degrees today and I have been trying to enjoy it as much as I can. I finished raking up the leaves for the city to take (well, I raked the ones outside of the fence for the city. The ones inside will be used for my garden.) The children have enjoyed the weather today as well. Sweet E, I don't really know what to say about her outfit. She picked it out herself...makes me think "flower child."
It looks like Little E isn't sure about her outfit either. :o)

Later this afternoon the children and I decided to build a hut. Yep, a hut. Here are the materials that we used.


The newspapers, tape, and staples went from that....to this.

Add a sheet and you have your very own hut!

They are very happy with it and so am I. It will keep them outside for a while. ;o)

Nice hut. You must have built it after I was there. I only saw Titus outside. =)

Are the bars of the hut made from the newspaper?

Yeah, it was after. We ran late with school and we had to finish up after dinner. Anyway, we made it late afternoon. :D

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
