thanksgiving!

for thanksgiving we gathered at the cabin.  the kids had their friends over for the night. we did a bonfire, cook out and breaky in the morning 

the littles asked if they could play in the dirt. i told them to go nuts. they did! they spent most of their time outside playing 

gathering! 

this was a home school fail turned into a yeah!  we were studying fossils and extent flying animals.  we went to make fossils with playdoh and clay but it didnt turn out. instead the girls spent the morning creating dinosaur habitats!  ha

joey's creation. and yes, that would be an egg, raw- uncooked! i let them play with them for the morning and we cooked them up for lunch. ha 

ellie's 

our fossil flops. oh well! but we had fun anyways

i cut the kids off juice. its too expensive and we were going through way too much of it. so ellie got creative and made her own lemonade!  i love her set up!  shes super careful to not leave a mess 

so ellie wanted to listen to music while she did her school work. i gave her a week. i wanted to see how it went.  it ended up being a success! not only was her school work better, she put extra effort in...to be able to listen to more music! fine for me!  

joey's fashion for the day.  she came in and i told her i liked her outfit and she said "everyone needs some fashion in their day" love it! 

3 wks ago. i took the girls to the cabin for a girls night. on the way they wanted ice cream. so i took them to mcdonalds and look who served us! nate made our ice cream and my coffee

although i did hear him say to his coworker "dont worry about it, its just for me mom" what?!?! what did they do to my coffee?  

sigh. my big kid

thanks nate for the ice cream! great job!
