Apple Stackers
As soon as the weather gets remotely nice, we move as much of our living outdoors as possible. This means more walk-abouts and backyard picnics. When my children were growing up, Apple Stackers were one of their favorite snacks. They could help me make them, and they were great to take on-the-go. (Note: After slicing your apple, keep the apple …

Butterfly Garden Field Trip
Our Homeschool Playgroup went on a field trip to the 4H Butterfly Gardens just after Easter. The presentation itself was a little below the group… there wasn’t a question the lady asked that at least half the group couldn’t answer. But everyone had a good time and enjoyed the warm sunny day in the butterfly …
Easter 2010
This year the kids decorated Eggs with Gammy and Othy and I don’t have any pictures… maybe Gammy does. I will have to ask. We did an easter egg hunt at church… unfortunately I forgot my camera and only have a couple poor quality cell phone images and then silly me I never got pictures …
