Christmas gift 12/09

For Christmas this year I decide to make

Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls

for Maggie .

The hard part was , being a homeschooler

Maggie is with me 24/7.

I really had to put the thinking cap on.

I told her it was for a friend of my sister's

grandchildern.The funny part is

she wanted to help....

How could I say no.....

These dolls are soooo much fun to make.

Each day they grew.

The clothes was soo much fun to make.
The whole thing was such a blast.

Awwww.....

I went through 3 wigs to find the one I

liked.

I was so sad when they were done.

We should do these for a class.

Wreath making 12-12-09

The Home school group got to do wreath making.

But Mag and I couldn't make it.

So we decided to make our own.

We kidnapped my sister, and off we went

to gather boughs .
It filled up fast, It was looking like
snow any mintue.

It really looked like snow.

Tah-dah...

We do good work.

Mag was working too.

The temps. dropped really fast.

So Mag's job was to biuld a fire.

She loves doing that.
We was nice and warm in no time.

Then we set to work on the

weathes.

My sisters wreath was a jumbo one.

It was snowing really hard out by the time

we finished. And Dark....

It's hard to see the wreath.

This one is Fran's .

This one is Maggie's.

This one is mine.
Let it snow.....

This one is Maggie's.

This one is mine.

Winter Magazine12-15-09

After Karate and before ornament making, the Homeschool

group, did a Winter Magazine class.Each child brings a copy of their article or add

or any thing that you would fine in a magazine.

Then all the pages are put together

to make a magazine..

This is a spinoff from our

newspaper.

The kids have fun coming up with
things to go in the magazine.
Thank you
to The River Church.
We are Blessed.

Ornament making 12-15-09

After Karate the Homeschool group made

Christmas ornaments.

Each mom brings an ornament to make,

the kids go from station to station, then

when their done, they have alot of

nice ornaments, to give away or use yourself.

Each station is a different ornament to make.This one was a globe.
This one was a Christmas tree.

This one was a Christmas card ball.

this one is bells on a string.

This one had 2 different ones.One was

candy on a string.

The other one was making xmas cards.

The kids had a blast. It was hard to get pictures.

This one is Maggie's globe.

This one is a 3D snow flake.

So much fun. We do this every year.

Thanks to the River Church , for letting us use thier building.

Candy Making 09

On 12-8-09 The Homeschool group got together for hard candy making.

Now that the kids are getting older,they can do more.

The older kids took over the kitchen. It was awesome to watch them .

The older kids have done this many times over the years.

We had some new homeschoolers, some younger kids.

The older kids was very happy to show them what to do.

It was a very large group of kids. It was so awesome.
Many hands makes this class go really fast.

Everyone hard at work. Or is it play...

We did about 5 batches of candy.Different flavors, and colors.More and more......

Look at all the hands working.

The older kids take a break, waiting

for everyone to get a turn.

More batches....

We mix all the colors together, divide it all up

between all the families to take home.

Then this year we started something new.

We have alot of older kids.

They all helped to clean up after.

They did a great job too.

Thank you to the River Church, for letting us

use their building for our class.

It is such a blessing.
