The body book

Gracie's body
Ashten's Body

We are working on a fun project. My friend showed me this when she did it with her kiddos. IT has been so much fun. We traced the kids on long paper and then each day we are coloring and gluing that body part into place. As the kids are coloring I read them a description of the body part and its function. Watching the process is fascinating and so amazing how God made us!!!! We will post more as we go along.

Olympics Vancouver 2010




Oh how we wished we could have been there. Only coming around every 4 years makes it a very special event. We made great little journals for the Olympic games. We included maps, the mascots, symbols of the sports and the medals. The evening of the opening ceremonies was a fun evening. Keller was supposed to go out of town that day but his trip was canceled last minute. This ended up being a huge blessing because earlier that day Gracie split her eyebrow open and we had to go to urgent care and get her eye glued. ;) Never a dull moment that is for sure. So coming home and just relaxing was just what the doctor ordered.

Gracie got her journal and immediately got to journaling all the sights and sounds from the opening ceremonies. Ashten decided drawing pictures was fun and some of the letters he knows how to write. All in all the kids loved watching all the sporting events. Gracie loves the ice skating and Ashten of course all the fun ski jumping. It is so fun to watch these amazing athletes who are the best of the best compete and always neat for the underdog to get a medal.
