Academic Fair

Our homeschool group had an Academic Fair this week! The kids all gave wonderful presentations! My son gave a speech on the politics and economics of 1930s. The kids had fun, and learned alot. I was very proud and thankful.

A Christmas Carol, by the GCHSA

Here's our homeschool group in their play this past December. A Christmas Carol by Dickens. They did a great job. They all painted the scenery, and learned their own lines. Also their was dancing scenes. I thought that it was wonderful for them to have an opportunity to dress up and have a chance to perform on the stage!

Back in the fall, we decided to create our own little 'puppet theater'. My son helped to glue on the wallpaper...it was fun. You can tell by the smile he really enjoyed it!

Field Day, November

Finally.... I have a photo of my kids at a Field Day for our homeschool group. This one was in November. They had a great day! They played tug of war, and lots of games.

Paper ornaments

This year I made a few of my own paper ornaments. They are hand stamped, with glitter on them. This one is beige and blue, with snowflakes stamped on them. One I made for an ornament exchange, in which I was thankful that the boy who received it really appreciated paper folding, since he loves origami! I think that next year I will put bows on all of them, and improve on my technique!

It's January, and we just went to a beautiful park in Fort Myers! It was gorgeous today. There was enough wind to fly a kite for a while, which is unusual for us! The kids really enjoyed the friends. My husband took a walk with the little one.

I'm glad that the library story times will be back this week. We are trying to make time for more parks now that the weather is so nice. Not much to say lately. I can't wait to get some sleep. LOL That's what all the parents at the park were saying!

Coupons & On Vacation

Ok everyone! A family member of mine just gave me a tip for some coupons...so I really wanted to share this with you! Philadelphia Cream Cheese has a current coupon for $1 off on 2. Winn-dixie is running a sale on them, 4 for $5. I'm not at home to get see if this will work local, but maybe you will check it out. Go to http://www.kraftrecipes.com/holiday-coupons.aspx and sign up to get the coupons.....and then at Winn Dixie, maybe you can use the coupons for them. That is about $1.25 each, and with a $1 off of 2, it's about .75 cents each. If this works for you, please let me know. I am going to try to find some other ones too.

I'm at Grandma's enjoying the family and loving the Georgia Pines! We are having a good vacation, but the weather turned cold alittle early, and we changed our plans for today. We get cold easily, and our plans had included outside things near the marsh, that would've been too cold for us. So, We will try again another day.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
