Last Friday, the kiddos again had their homeschool bowling league and continued to do really well! Kiddo #4 bowls with her beloved Pigie (as seen below) :-)
They also worked on their Iditarod Trail Mail project. Do you participate in it? Your child's project, along with their photo, if you include it, will be carried by a musher on the trail! Isn't that cool? We will be tracking our musher and look forward to receiving our project back signed by him/her along with their standing in the race, time, etc. Below is the picture that was on our project page. I received notification today that our project was received. The race is on March 7th and we can't wait!
Kiddos 1 and 2 had their online classes and Kiddos 3 and 4 learned about percents.
We had some fun family game night games and more snow
and one of the best things about homeschooling is that a Kiddo can decide he wants to bbq some dogs or that she wants to make a beautiful cake (I will do my best to get her recipe typed up for next week's Try a New Recipe Tuesday)
On Thursday, we attended the 2nd half of the herb program. Remember last week when they made their own herb baskets?
Well, today was amazing. The kids all made an entire meal-- from appetizers to a main course and then got to sit down and enjoy their fare. They made two different types of dip (one to be served with carrots and one with crackers), salsa, chicken soup, lemon chicken, roasted cauliflower and herbed pita crips. Oh, yes, and lemon mint tea. Wow. They chopped every herb, tomato and pepper. They stirred and chopped and diced. What an incredible program. They had so much fun and learned quite a bit. I am looking forward to even more programs there.
And, as Lent progresses, our Kind Words Cross is getting more lillies and we have decided to make our own Lenten candles. Advent has candles, so the Kiddos thought that we could light a candle for every week of Lent. I like the idea. :-)

Wow, what a fun, full week! Love all the pics.....that meal!! Oh my goodness...it looks like they had a great time in the kitchen...everything from scratch!
I'm loving that cake! I need to go back to the post and read up on it....the recipe, etc.
And what a great idea to light one votive per week during Lent in a cross outline. I'm LOVING that. Tell your kids that we are stealing their idea! That is if I EVER get rid of The Worst Cold I've Ever Had and i can get out to pick up matching votives! I have bits and pieces of candles and votive and i love the dollar store for stuff like this..... I do love that and after Timmy's play this weekend I'll pick up a little downtime--no more running to reh--- and hopefully, I'll get healthy( ! ) and be able to set this up on the kitchen table early next week!
Great wrap, Lisa!!
I shared out brain unit study from the week....pretty much, with me being sick and Timmy needing to head to play pract every day, this was our focus.
God bless and thanks for hosting!
I loved your week wrap up Lisa! So awesome that your kids love to cook and the herb program looks like fun! Love your daughter's cake! Yum! Thanks for hosting link up! Going to link up now! :) Have a blessed weekend!
Without cable, I haven't found a way to watch the race. :/ It sounds like a great way to study though!
That cake looks AWESOME!
