SUGAR COOKIES!

I have decided thick soft sugar cookies are evil. Truly. I had 2 big ones yesterday and today... Not good!  This is Grandma K's recipe. Which we love. Silly Willy was the photographer. <3

We are busy here!

Packing Soap orders. (Ugly Bar Sale going on now!)
Cleaning house.
Schooling.
Baking is calling my name also... (Mostly PB Fudge...)

Tubby learned today that a sieve doesnt hold water. It was very funny. And a whole teapot of water was on the counter. (This counts as science and Home Ec., Right??)

He also Learned putting something on your head and running full speed ahead through the living room hurts. Even when hitting something somewhat soft...

Fonte has been working hard this morning on a story for the Vision Forum Story Contest. It has involved lots of Titanic research and learning more about sentence structure. And When she is done she will be typing it up and Mailing it off. She has asked about selling her story. Not sure on that yet. She is a total Entrepreneur. Loves making and selling.

Pear-o is working on her exercises from the Clear Institute. It is a great Scoliosis Treatment method. Research it if you have anyone with Scoliosis. We have seen lots of progress with it.

The youngers are doing school work, playing with playdough and the like. Tubby is also playing on the Dulcimer and singing Praise songs. ;)

Cinnamon!

We added a new soap to our Store! We are excited! I LOVE the smell of warm spices in the fall and winter! It is Cinnamon! Lovely! Makes me want cinnamon rolls! Not a horrid side effect. ;)

Pear-O has been playing with pictures and asked last night if she could take the pictures of soap. I think she did well. I was cutting soap and setting it out on the shelf and in no time 3 children were there to help! Just because they wanted too. I am thankful for children that are willing hard workers.

Our main site had some server issues and will be back up in a couple days. But for now you can order our soaps and 100% BEESWAX CANDLES! on our other blog.

Blogging...

I have really missed blogging. Working hard at getting this blog and our Soap business blogs running full time again. Lots happening! Busy here!

Just made several hundred bars of yummy soap. Adding a new scent to the blog soon! Working on growing the business.

We did a Podcast with Jack Spirko. He does www.thesurvivalpodcast.com He and his wife are really great! We love them Both. Daddy made a Mammoth tusk knife! It is a beauty! In my top 3 favorite knives he has made!

Girls are really learning right now! Pear-O and Fonte are writting stories for the Vision Forum Contest. I hope to post them later! They are great! They have so much potential. Unschooling somewhat really gets them to do things that are hard because they want too! I would have never tried due to fear of failing. But they do not have this fear! I am so thankful!

They have such a knowledge that I didnt have opportunity to know as a child. They are all hard workers and love learning!

I am blessed to be a momma of 6 Jems!

Momma! Momma!! Look what we found!!!

YUMM!!

At least they thought so. I think they ate 1/2 the thing!

I remember eating them as a child too. But for now I'll stick with the

good stuff like Snow ice cream ;)

Random Nonsense pictures...Just because I can.

This is his Ahhhh full tummy of milk look. I think
He is super duper yummy!


School work. 6th grade is now behind us. And it is break time til
7th arrives. We took no breaks this yr so this is loved.
But time to start on the garden now. So still very busy, plus still
studing the bible and memorizing some. Also reading books. Current read aloud is
a biography. No idea on her personal book at the moment.
I dont keep up with that anymore. Too many readers plowing through books.
And some read more than one at a time. One thing I could never do!


CHEESE!!! (BALL)




Typical Tubby... Hat, boots and 'The Look'

AHHHHH!!!! Look out for Ran! Tubby says 'cheese me Momma!'

Cookies...

Our Neighbors like to bring treats to the girls and they were thrilled with the platter of cookies they were given. And since I am not on grains and sugars we didnt really bake much this yr. So it was even more liked due to that.

Daddy and 2 girls...

Left for a 3 day weekend. Widdle Willy is finally getting her
Birthday date with Daddy. Sounds like He has big plans that He
is keeping to himself. But He said it will be extra special since it is a mth late.

Big Sister has appts to make this weekend. Which
causes the trip. Praying they have fun. But as they were
pulling away myself was hiding the fact I was yelling for them to stay.
I feel so odd only having 3 children. Will make a run to the
store today easier.

School Days...

Bored but getting it done. ;)

Ran wanted to do a 3rd grade Math lesson.
She was doing pretty good but asked Fontie for help.
I am so glad to see them work together!

Learning how Puppies are born wore The Boy out!

Widdle Willy and Her cursive page.
She says it is hard but she really puts in a good effort.

I am glad to Homeschool my children. Most days are great but a few have been hard.
I am learning what we can each handle as far as school goes. I wouldnt have it any other way. Love my babies!
