Baking time!

I got a really sweet Kitchen Aid mixer on Black Friday! Technically it was online Thursday. ;)
Anyway, the first thing I made with it was Grandma J's famous rolls! Anna and Jacob both helped me roll out the dough, cut it into triangles, and roll them up! They were great helpers! Anna learned about yeast and fractions, but don't tell her she was doing school after supper!! ;) And I must say, the rolls are delicious! I subbed in 2 cups of whole wheat flour and they still taste really good. Can't wait to do more baking!!

New shoes

I noticed yesterday that Jacob's shoes were quite worn at the toes. So I hit up some Black Friday sales to find both boys some new shoes. Isaac was barely squeezing into his (that he's worn over a year and were Jacob's). I was sure Isaac's were a size 4 and Aaron told me Jacob's were size 10. So I figure size 5 and size 11 would be perfect. I can't find any 11s so I went with a 12 hoping it wouldn't be too big. I get back and have the boys try them on. Aaron put Jacob's on and I did Isaac's. I notice his aren't much bigger. Come to find out, his old shoes were a 5! Great. I check out Jacob's and his toe is at the very end!! How on earth could he have been wearing 2 sizes smaller this whole time?! Maybe this is why...

According to Jacob, this is how you make a lower case y...
Fust you make a line down, den you make a wittle wacky-do, den you go back up a wittle.

Any Help?

I tried to upload some pictures on here and it's telling me I'm out of storage space! Anyone else had this problem??

Homeschooling History

Studying WWII, so far we have been able to interview a WWII veteran and survivor of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl (my grandpa!) and have watched some great old movies like The Incredible Mr. Limpet and The Sound of Music! We're thinking of Grandma W as we watch her favorite movie. :)

Cousins

Homecoming fun with Jeremy's kids!

The Things He Says

After drawing for a bit...
"Mom I drew a picture of me having diarrhea!"
It's a good thing he's not a very talented artist just yet.......
