All grown up!




SarahBeth and I "played" with her new make-up today. She wants a soft natural look for the Opera or I would have gone with Pancake base. I don't think I did to bad considering this is the first time I did someone elses make-up and I haven't had make-up on myslef in years. She is our beautiful daughter (she reminds me so much of her daddy!)

Fun with Hannah part 2

If you take construction paper and lay leaves on them and leave them in the sun, the sun will fade the paper and leave you a "print" of the leave.

You can also take white paper, crayons and found objects and do crayon rubbings. Coins are a great first one to try. This is fun to do and then talk about why some items don't work.

If your learnign your ABC's this one is great to do. Take paper and write 1 letter on each page. I recommend the top right corner. Make it large but not to big, you need room on the page for this. Now get some magazines (you can find free ones at stores, usually the are about homes or local stuff, and even some libraries, ask!) Then cut out pictures that start with the letter one the page. Then write or have a parent write the word for the picture under it. Before long you will have a book you can "read" to siblings, parents and those wonderfully fun gradndparents.

Did you also know that you can cut freezer paper, iron it on to a t-shirt, use fabric paint and make you own t-shirts? If not yes you can! You can find a tutorial on Youtube. You can also see a few shirts made this way on this blog. Just find my sisters WICKEDLY 16 BIRTHDAY, we all have shirts on made this way.

Most importantly, have fun!

P.S. A quick tip from my mom. Call your local newpaper(s) and ask about there paper ends. Some will give them to you for free (tell them you are homeschooling you kids) and some sell them for $5.00 (anything more than 5 is too much) This is great paper to spread out on a table and just color away on. Practicing writing on and usually is the right size to lay on, trace, color, cut out and hang on the wall, images of your favorite little ones.
