A November Catch Up

Yet another catch up post. Photos from November. A big busy month. Lots of play dates, activities, and the first stocking of Sewing Alley since Naomi was in my belly. It was a nice long break to recooperate from birth and newbornhood.

Three eggs in one day!

Every year there is a field trip through one of the homeschool groups. It is called School on Trains. You get a discounted rate on a ticket to Seatttle and back. Maddy and Joe went last year and this year Michael was old enough to attend as well. They have a blast! They arrive in Seattle in the afternoon and leave in the evening. The train car is full of other homeschooling families.

Not going to label the photos as I was not there so not sure what they are.

Our first green egg!

She loves taking a bath.

Michael got a new hair cut.

2 more Seattle photos, not sure how they got down here.

Michael took some photos of himself one day. The kids love to take pictures and will often ask for the camera and I will get it back full of the most interesting pictures. I love these!

Playing Play dough with G, A, and A who were here to play for a bit. This is the best play dough ever! Not stinky like that store bought stuff and smooth unlike some home made recipes. You can find out more about it here. I know, I know. lol

I made Marah a new dress. Its just cheap flannel as it was a practice dress.

The kids like playing with pattern blocks. Michael made this and says it is a Bionicle.

Marah made this one.

Our friends L, C, and M came to visit. L and I were working on a Collaboration for Sewing Alley (you can view them here and here) and the kids played while we worked.

They played dress up out of the hall closet.

My friend L. Yes she does have a face. I believe Maddy took this photo.

October 2008 Catch up

We did not take a lot of photos in October for some reason. Here are a few of them.

Nomy grew.

Our first egg.

The kids took apart the vaccuum. Don't worry it was broken. Michael did not like the smell (dusty) so he put on a mask.

The chickens grew. This is Blue. She is one of my favorite chickens and is at the very bottom of the pecking order. They are always picking on her and she is so mellow.

Our second egg.

Banana Split Night!

Marah's first Banana Split Night.

Tired baby

September 2008 Catch Up

Giggling

They played dress up.

Tan little cheeks. I just want to kiss them!

Superman!

Michael made himself a mosquito costume, wings and all. He then tried to poke holes in plastic wrap so he could drink "blood".

And yes my house is messy. I thought about cropping it out but hey its my life and I just don't care. Your house gets messy when you have four kids under 7. :)

The lego master.

Madeline checkout a book about horses at the library. She then decided to make a list of her favorites and write down all the interesting facts she could about them.

We found a spiderweb in the blackberry bush. We fed him a moth.

I made Madeline a new bag.

Its reversible.

Nomi helped me sew.

Madeline made potpourri from the roses in our front yard.

The house smelled so yummy for hours!

Random August 2008 Photos

Photo updates from August 2008. These are not in any order.

Playing with balloons.



Madeline did a new trick.

Nomy learned to push up on hands and knees.

Look at those rolls!

We went to the MDC Summer Picnic here in Vancouver.

This is Michael's friend G. Food, drink, and dirt. LOL

We played pass the babies.

We found a blackberry bush on the side of our house. We have since removed it as it was spreading fast. Here is the harvest one day.

Must be comfortable when cleaning the chicken coop. Pink boots and underwear.

We went to Grandma Karen's and Great Grandma Evelyn's.

Tree climbing.

Marah playing with her second cousin Ashley.

A bee hive on Great Grandma's porch. They kept diving at me and I was a good distance away. Needless to say it is now gone.

The kids love doing experiment blow up as they call it. Baking soda and Vinegar.
