Busy Family Day

We had a really fun day together. The girls had their first big Girl Scout event down in Phoenix yesterday. It was a Teddy Bear Picnic. They listened to stories, made crafts and had a picnic. Dave and I took Tyler to IKEA and he got to walk around and play in the kids furniture area.

Closing Ceremony

After the Picnic we headed back to Globe for Faith Anne's first soccer game. They are really good and it was so much fun to watch them all play and get into the game.

This picture is blurry but I thought is was cute how the two defenders kicked at the same time as the ball passes them both by.

Tonight we are camping out in our backyard. Well, actually, Dave and the kids will be sleeping in the tent and Mommy will be sleeping in my comfy bed. I'll be there for the rest though :) I love Dave's long weekends!

Pinals Autumn Craft Day

Today for homeschool we took a trip to the Pinal Mountains and had a picnic and a hike. We discussed how the trees were different at the top of the mountain and why. Why the leaves change color and why the pinecones, acorns and leaves fall off the trees and how this helps nature prepare for Winter. The kids were so excited when they would find a good autumn leaf or an acorn. When we got home with our Autumn collections we made autumn patterns out of the items we collected and then made Autumn wreaths. We had a lot of fun! Have I said lately that I love homeschooling?
