this and all that!

this am, nate was reading his morning devotion to ellie

then he got to open his letter from nana and papa plumps

he loved it! thanks guys!!

ellie chilled (quite shocking don't you think?) with me before we left!

where?  i took school outside

we met up with a bunch of other home educators, a christian school and preschool to hang out and learn about fire trucks

one last pic before my camera battery died

nate learnt a lot, i drilled him on the way home (kidding about the drilling part)

but i am going to have him write out tomorrow what he did learn

sigh

i hate today and tomorrow for this reason

i am burning ben's memory candle today

3 yrs ago right now i was in labour waiting to deliver him

i hate that i have gone through this

hate that i only tuck in 2 kids at night

hate that i look at his foot prints on my bulletin board instead of kissing him

3 yrs have gone and i can honestly say i think of you almost daily

i just wish the dreams would go away

i will see you again

i love you ben

the first pinterest thing i've ever done

seriously!

i made home made diaper pail smelly pucks

awesomeness in all areas!

i took 2 cups of distilled water

2 cups of baking soda

many drops of yummy scented oil (i used body shop citrus)

mix until it's a paste

pour into muffin tins

let dry into hard pucks

voila! nice smelling diaper pail pucks! should last a month

cost 2.00!

little missy dancing twinkle toes

she loves her jumper!

chris and nate made home made gummy bears

they did not taste good

2 thumbs down

but they had fun!

ohhhh the animals.....
hee hee
and with that we lived another busy, fun filled learning day!
