Sylvia Surprise!

One of the main reasons why I homeschool is so that I have more time to do fun things with my family, and yet, at times it is very difficult to say no to cleaning and yes to sitting down and reading a book or playing a game with them. Last night the house was a mess, I had just gotten home from a meeting and wanted to get dinner on the table before Joey got home.  Sylvia had had a great gift idea for daddy for a while now and it had become one of those things that I kept saying, "tomorrow" to.  I am so glad I chose to say yes to it.  The kids thought it was fun and needless to say, it was the best gift Joey has ever received!

Luke helped with the wrapping.

What could it be?!

A Sylvia!

And a hug!

Halloween Crafts

We busted out our Halloween Crafts book.  As you can see my copy is very old and beat up.

We made some great ghosts for our spooky chandelier.  We are also planning on making the milk carton trick or treat bags once we drink four gallons, so....in a couple of days.

Jacob Black = Daddy

While Isabel was at her Activity Day class, Luke, Sylvia, Hazel and I headed off to Target to let Sylvia choose what to buy with her birthday money.  Right when we hit the Barbie aisle, Hazel made a beeline for the Jacob Black dolly shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"  Hazel, your daddy is WAY hotter than Jacob.

Here is the pink monstrosity Sylvia picked out.  Thanks Great Aunt Beverly!!!
