Fun Moments

Today, in the midst of the usual flurry of activity, we had some fun. Matt made an art project out of his otherwise boring spelling review and Bekah played a fraction game (the person with the most tiles at the end won).

A School Day?!!!!

My little man usually runs, hops, jumps, skips, and leaps from room to room.  So, I couldn't resist taking this unusual picture of him napping in the middle of the morning (he's been sick this past week) ....

Fishing on Vancouver Island

Enjoying time with cousins & fish!

What the big boys caught!

Unexpected Treasures

We were cleaning Bekah's room the other day and I found a little pile of "treasures".  Unbeknownst to me, my sweet 8 year old has been writing lists to keep herself organized.  Hmmmm, wonder who she learned that from??!!!

Go, Canucks, Go!

Canucks fever has hit our household during the race for the Stanley Cup
but Mommy didn't realize how this would enrich our schooling!

Music

Multiple opportunities to sing our national anthem with pride!

Math

Number of flags spotted on vehicles .... 394 and counting...

(Mental math that gets challenging when a car has multiple flags on it!)

More Math, Home Economics, and Art ...

Personalized cupcakes ready to play!

More Interior Decorating ....

A Creative Afternoon

On the weekend we had one of those lovely, leisurely kinds of days.  The kind when the sun is shining (finally!), the kids are all getting along, we all slept in and, to top it off, some creative projects happened.  It all started when I lugged out the sewing machine to finally make some duvet covers for the kids.  Before I knew it Bekah was at the sewing machine doing a project from her new book:

Hard at work

The product of her labours (a book bag for her little sister)

Meanwhile, Matthew had other plans.

He combined two different kits and ended up putting together a circuit which made a horn blow and then another one to make a fan turn on.
