Lately

So here's what's been going down this fall

in the Brown household...

lots of dirty feet and faces.

Lots of outside play.

 

 

We're plugging away with our homeschooling

and loving it!

On this particular day

it was PJ day.

They LOVE having PJ day and staying in their

pajamas until their schoolwork is completed.

 

 

In our Bible Study time,

we're using this Bible to read through it in a year.

I read the passage for the day and
Crista writes a paragraph summarizing the reading

and then illustrates it.

Addie draws what she remembers from the story.

This is an excellent Bible for the girls

and we love our Bible Time each day!

 

CC is going better than I anticipated.

We look forward to Thursdays each week

and both the girls and I have

made some pretty great friends

already.

 

These pictures are from their Science experiment.

We were discussing the Solar Magnetic Field.

 

 

There is one thing my girls look forward to

all year.

The county fair!

Fall is synonymous with Fair

around here.

The girls start talking about which rides they'll do this year

once they see the first Fair billboard go up.

This year the girls got to invite friends to join them.

Greatest idea ever :-)

Everyone had someone to ride each ride with

(other than Mama!)

Here are the girls:

Crista, Maddie, Addie Grace & Annabelle

 

 

The Bigs couldn't wait to hit the swings.

 

But unfortunately, the Littles were just shy of making it on them

this year.

Both girls cried and cried,

they were heartbroken.

Next year baby girl, next year!

 

 But there were plenty of rides

they could ride on.

So they dried their tears and

had a ball on more

age-appropriate rides!

 

That's the Bigs' feet way up there.

I would hold my breath each time they went up

until I saw them come back around again.

I was so glad when that ride was over.

They're just too young to ride such a big ride!!

 

 

The Ferris wheel.

The girls loved it.

Its not my favorite ride.

But I did it for them,

and screamed each and every time

it went up to the top and

 back down again.

 I am so not a thrill seeker!

 

 

Halloween fell on one of our CC days

so we had a PJ day & crazy hair day.

The girls thought it was awesome

and loved the change up from the norm.

 

This six weeks we're learning

the tin whistle during class time.

 

 

Halloween Night.

We don't really celebrate Halloween

and we don't trick-or-treat.

But we DO trunk-or-treat

at our church!

Each year we've been here we've seen the numbers

increase by 100

and this year we had multiple families from the community

come to church today

after participating in our trunk-or-treat.

And that's what its all about!!

 

Crista decided she wanted to dress up like a Mama

and Addie Grace was Shirley Temple.

Pretty cute kids,

if I do say so myself!

 

 

Addie Grace and her BFF, Annabelle.

They are two peas in a pod.

I hope they'll always be BFF'S!!

 

 

And this little cutie won 1st place for her costume.

And just for the record,

that is really her hair. 

No wig.

Remember the previous pics from crazy hair day at CC?

She wore those sponge rollers for almost 24 hours

to get these curls!
And see that dress & pinafore? 
That was mine when I was her age,
my grandma made it!

 

So, that's what we've been up to lately!

We also snuck in a trip up to Indiana

which I'll blog on soon!
