School days are almost here! I am so not ready....I usually have all these plans and not enough time to finish them all. This year has been the first that most of them are getting done. Wanted to share, so you can get things done, too:
**1st week of the month, we focused on teaching cooking skills. We make all kinds of things. The children even got to make 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner. How nice!
**2nd week of the month, we focused on scrapbooking. We leave all the scrapbook material out on the table all week long and the children have fun cutting, pasting, and writing. Sure saves me!
**3rd week: we focused on sewing. We pulled out the sewing and serger machines and had fun sewing little projects from blankets to bags, to pillowcases, and hopefully some mending.
**4th week: we focused on building/painting. We built us some marshmallow shooter guns, worked on a better, more economical bunny cage, and such.
All throughout the summer we had an opportunity to go to Sister Johnson's home and learn how to crochette...it's been a lot of fun for all the older 3. All the older 4 have been taking piano lessons right from Mom. This has kept us busy and yet still have time to play with friends, and to be together.
