First Day ~ November

By
Wow! It's November already! And our first day of November was a great one! The weather was so fallish that we just had to get out for a bike and scooter ride and a trip to the Dairy Queen. I am joining Nicole's First Day Linkup at Journey to Josie.

A post-Halloween morning, easing into the day.

Chloe was needing to ease in, too.

And mom needed to make a grocery list.

Mmmm … some spiced pumpkin seeds. Easy to make and yummy!

Making a little beef broth for swiss steak later in the evening.
 
We are LOVING the different colored leaves! It's been an especially pretty Fall.

And speaking of pretty.

Placing the last DQ order of this season. Our locally-owned Dairy Queen is only open from about April to November.

Walking back to grandma and papa's to eat our lunch. They only live two doors down from DQ.

Papa was at the lake and grandma was in Florida, so we just took advantage of their front porch.

Mom needed a foot long chili dog, too.

My car has been parked all week due to a dead alternator, so I've gotten more use out of my other set of wheels!

Just had to get in a little before-bed Minecraft play ...

… and Youtube watching.

Collin was a little tired from hunting.

So Kyndal, Rick and I just watched some t.v.

My man does dishes. Glad to have him home this weekend!

    I'm totally showing my husband this photo of your husband doing dishes. Right now I think he has the belief that it is physically impossible to actually load the dishwasher. ;) thanks for sharing!! Looks like a fun day!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

By
Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
