On Saturday, Kiddos #1 and 2 had a special program for teenagers with 4H. They were learning all about small engines this session. Next month's is small animals.
My kids are just loving 4H!
Monday was Veterans' Day. I posted a poem that will touch your heart and soul. If you haven't read it yet, click here.
Since hubby was off, the kiddos got to spend some special time with him. Kiddo #3 worked on the leaves and on a little mini greenhouse for our herbs and carrots with Dad. :-)
Tuesday evening had two special treats. An amazing sunset and a family game night of Football Multiplication Bingo. :-)
On Wednesday, Kiddos 3 and 4 did another fun science experiment from their new science book. This experiment was on density and they learned that an egg in plain water will sink, while one in salt water will float.
On Friday, we had homeschool home ec at the laundromat! :-) Since the washer has been broken, we have been making trips to the local laundromat. I was really proud of the kids. They sorted everything, loaded the washers, put in the correct change, etc. I have to mention how proud I am of Kiddo #2, who helped an older woman who had just had thyroid surgery by carrying her laundry to the car and loading it for her. :-)
When we got home, everything was put on hangers and the funniest thing was me literally dumping all of the socks and other items that needed folding in the middle of the family room floor. We all sat in a circle around it and played our own game of "let's make a match." We did more laughing, even the teenagers! Everything is more fun when you do it together! :-)
On Friday night, Kiddos 1 and 4(my cooks) made us all homemade doughnuts!
What we are looking forward to this week:
Cooking with 4H on Saturday
More fun science experiments (Kiddos 3 and 4)
Football games (Kiddo #2)
