Corn Dolls with Aunt Nichie

With some left over corn husks we whipped up some corn dolls with Aunt Nichie. Here's a link where we learned to make them:) Lola's made quite a collection of them now.

Dog show

Anyone who enjoys Best in Show, should one day take a voyage to the National Dog Show. It is really pretty funny to see the 'characters' at the event. We had a great time watching the demonstrations and seeing all the truly beautiful dogs. It was a good time.

Thankful quilt

Thanksgiving gives us all a chance to remember our friends and family. We are so thankful for those special people. For a homeschool project we mailed plates to friends and family to draw what they were thankful for. We had an excellent response. Thank you for participating. Your help meant so much to Lola. 

Ice skating

Our Field trips are not always science, history, or art.. Sometimes they're Phyiscal Ed:) We headed to the ice rink to try our hand at some skating. She had a good time. Momma had a pretty good work out trying to keep her up:)

Grammy

Grammy came for a visit! Lola always has a great time with Grammy, they find lots to do together. We did a Native American craft of corn dolls. We also went to the stable and went on a  trail ride. Lola showed Grammy around and introduced her to her pony friends. 

Veterans day

For our Field trip Friday on Veterans Day we headed over to the birthplace of the US army, Valley Forge. They had a lovely ceremony and afterwards we went to see the different soldiers at the cabins. 

Thank YOU to The Veterans!

Spelling word practice

How to make it different? How to make it fun.... ? Well, we like to keep things interesting in homeschool. For spelling practice this week we used the chalkboard to practice writing them.
