Fallen off the planet

I'm not sure if anyone is still following our blog. Postings have gotten a little sparse. We have not fallen off the planet (yet) but have been busy with homeschooling and adjusting to Greg's new job and I haven't been able to find the desire to blog. I have been released from Nursery (teaching the 18 month to 3 year olds at church) and called to the Cub Scout program assisting in Joseph's Bear group.

We had a 100 Day Homeschool Celebration where we got together with my friend Danielle Wagasky and her children. Here are a few pictures:

This is our theme based lunch... 100

These are the six little smarty pants!

Danielle did a great blog about our celebrations here (and took lots more pictures than I did). We had load of fun. We tried to have each of the kids do a sample of what "100" looks like. Brianna did 100 kisses (with lips confetti), Kaitlynn did 100 dinosaurs (again, dinosaur confetti), Elizabeth kinda helped me put 100 pennies on a page, Libby and Keagan brought 100 Duplo blocks to play with, and Joe...you wonder what Joe did, well so do I. 

I guess he figured we needed to have something that showed what 100 x 0 would look like. 

We read some books from the "100 picture books everyone should know" list. Did math games with gummy worms and lifesavers (YUM). Popped 25 balloons with a 4 words inside, if you popped it, you had to read the words (that rule didn't stick too well). We went off to the park to get some exercise and wear off some of that sugar! Then we came back and had ice-cream sandwiches. I think they all had a really good time.   

Here are the roses my sweetheart sent for Valentine's day:

And, what my creative daughter made out of the box:

It's a house for her littlest pet-shop critters, 

and the wallpaper is little strips of paper she cut by hand, 

and then glued (using up a whole glue container).

There is a door that opens, and hand-drawn pictures on the wall.

Cozzy!

Hopefully I am back and found my will to blog.
