A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...

But I'm still going to talk about these pictures!
These students kidnapped Jessica last weekend and took her on a youth canoe trip.

She kayaked for almost 10 miles! We're so proud of her!

First day of school! I figured home schooling is no reason not to get new clothes and take a few pictures!



Sadly, those are my old glasses, with the lenses taken out. She asked me to take this. Sorry about Mike's feet...

Jessica's first science experiment! Corn syrup, water, and oil in a glass, and a grape, a cork, an ice cube and a rock dropped in. It was pretty cool, and my favorite part was watching how excited she got.

Friday afternoon a bunch of home school moms and kids got together at one family's farm to play and plan. And eat homemade ice cream. :) The girls had fun, and came home filthy, so I had them wash their feet in the tub right away. I didn't see the mess they made until that night.


After the meeting/play date, my sweet girls surprised me with a spa treatment! They had decorated the (dirty) bathroom, made face cream with mashed bananas and honey, put cucumbers on my eyes, gave me a hand massage and a foot soak (with kosher salt, lemon juice, and marbles in the bucket), mani/pedi (with glitter), hair and make-up. And spa cuisine--a yogurt parfait. Oh, and entertainment--Mikayla played her recorder and Rebecca sang, and they both did magic tricks.

See my glitter!

It's a brave beautician who'll tackle this hair.


My big fat braid.


My tiara spells MOM!!

You are such a wonderful Mother!!!! Your girls are sharing what they see in you. May God continue to use you and your family. You always bless me.

Pretty sure I remember doing that same experiment back in my homeschool days, only I'm pretty sure we used food coloring (yeah we were uber-sophisticated like that). And by the by, LOVED my homeschoolED vid! Had to send it out to a bunch of my old homies.
