Cookies for Cubbies

Tonight, Azaryah made "rainbow" cookies for his AWANA Cubbies' class. His memory verse this week is "...all Your words are true..." and the story was about Noah and the Ark. God put a rainbow in the sky as a sympbol of His promise never to flood the entire earth again...Azaryah was SOOOO excited about his cookies and sharing them with his friends ;-)

Today's Art Project

The girls got up this morning and headed upstairs with all their art supplies...About an hour later, they surprised me with their creation...Isn't that AdOrAbLe?!?! They made that out of paper and the mane and tail is out of the edges of the paper!!! Pawpaw will be so proud!!!

Lanesfield Historical Schoolhouse

Friday, we went on a fieldtrip to a historical schoolhouse. The children were given a tour of the musuem, experienced what it would have been like to do laundry and hang it on a clothes line, bake biscuits, and gather eggs all before heading to school. After the chores, the children were taken into the schoolhouse and taught spelling and math by a woman dressed in prairie clothes...She instructed them just as if they were living in this historical time. She was strict but fun ;-)

The Schoolhouse...

The children were taken into the historic schoolhouse where the teacher instructed them in both spelling and math. They wrote on slate tablets, went to the board to work their math problems and experience a true old schoolhouse environment...It was a blessing for them all!!

Recess...

The bell rang and class was dismissed...The children had a blast playing old recess games with one another in the front yard of the schoolhouse...They earned their recess because the teacher really made them work on Spelling and Math!!!

The Mamas...

Three of the Mamas joined the lessons at the schoolhouse while the rest of us watched our little ones in the picnic area...
Cahrrie, Martha, Jennie, Kelly, and Kim

Same Mamas...Just with me in the picture ;-)

This is Cahrrie's first year of homeschooling and her first fieldtrip with our group...We had such a good time!!!

Lunch Time...

While the big kiddos enjoyed their lessons in the schoolhouse and had recess, the little ones enjoyed some fun in the sun. Poor Azaryah, he was the only little boy...Don't worry, he found plenty of ways to torment the little girls ;-)



Everyone brought sack lunches for lunchtime...Lots of smiles, laughter, and fellowship!!!


It was a WONDERFUL day!!!
