Nigh-Night

Here are the birds at bed-time! Looks a bit cozy!

Meet the Flock

Little Cloud

Lady

Hosanna is with Joe - our neighbor thought it should be named after Joseph's coat of many colors

Gluie Putty Putty

Jubi calls this game "Gluie Putty Putty," perhaps that is because of the amount of glue that went into its creation. The tree in our back yard produced lots of buckeyes so the girls put them to good use making a game board. Three days later they are still adding to it.

Little Laundry

Jubilee came up with this project on her own. She tied two jump ropes together from the post to the front door nob. She collected the clothes pins and various soapy and clean wate containers. She washed, rinsed, rung, and hung her doll clothes for over an hour. Hosanna was happy to scoot on the scooter!

Today

Today we started making tie-dye coffee filters. I taught the girls how to iron the filters. Then we dyed them with red, yellow, and green food coloring. Tomorrow we cut them into leaf shapes and make a mobile. Jubi and Zana thought it was a blast - me too!

Jubilee is practicing her jump roping! She is getting the hang of it.

Here are some of our 24 birds...yes we have increased as a result of freecycle. Yesterday, Jeff picked up 2 laying hens and two other roosters. They are enjoying the shade here. They now roam the yard, as they are big enough to not get through the fence. It is kinda fun to share the yard with the birds.

Presents

Thank you for all the gifts! The girls and all of us, are blessed beyond measure!!

The Cake

Jubi requested a horse cake. When she got the horse toys for her birthday, she wanted to change from the cake actually in the form of a horse to the horses on the cake. The fence is made from popcicle sticks and the grass in dyed coconut.

Grandma Susan gave the cows to Hosanna but they didn't quite fit on the bitty pasture, so they are on the front step. I thought it turned out pretty cute!
