These guys started school two weeks ago! They are in year round school. We now have a 2nd, 4th and 6th grader. We love each of their teachers. Caleb has been offered the opportunity from his teacher to do his math assignments ahead of time. This will allow him and another student to work on a film that will be entered in the district film contest at the end of the year.
We have been working on putting our armor on each day!
We have another seamstress in the house! Alexa had been dying to learn how to sew. We have started with a few hand sewing projects.
Showing of her wristbands that she made. So cute! She made them for several girsl at school....the FLOWER POWER GANG!
This little guy was entertained for an hour and a half with salt dough. I kept asking myself that afternoon why I had not thought of this much earlier!!! I pulled out a pizza cutter, spatula and cookie cutters. It was heaven for him and me!!!
Basic Salt Dough Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of fine salt
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of water (may add more)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the salt and the flour
- Make a well in the salt/flour mixture and add the water
- Knead until smooth and shape into a ball
- When not in use, wrap in plastic or store in an airtight container
- You may want to add a teaspoon or two of vedg. oil this will help it not stick to things.
- The batch I made was 4 times this. That seemed to be a good amount.
