First Day ~ December


Started our day with donuts from The Donut Palace. 

Came home from church to find all of my leaves raked! I went out and helped him bag them.

Eight bags of leaves.

Chloe went with Collin and I to drop off the bags of leaves to my dad.

She loves to go 'bye-bye'.

After two weekends, Rick was able to come home to us! It was a fun weekend!

Chili, chili dogs, frito chili pie … it was a yummy lunch!

The nuts Collin and I collected at my mom and dad's to feed to our squirrels.

Clifford was happy for a nice day on the back porch.

Working on the tree!

Chili dog!

Eli having some quiet time in my unmade bed. Watching Disney Infinity Youtube videos. He can't wait to get his for his birthday!

Adding the angel ….

And the tree is done!!

How we all felt while watching the Chiefs game. We were better off sleeping.

What did you do on your first day of December? I am linking up with Nicole at Journey to Josie.

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

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.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
