Just a Little Science...and Mess....

We've all done this experiment I think, a little food dye, water and white carnations, right?

We decided to give it a try and it worked beautifully!

And it also ended up a little messy...thanks to two little boys who decided to "mix up" the water while Mommy slept in and Daddy was "resting" on the sofa.

So hopefully I can find ways to get food dye out of tile, paint and a windowsill.

We had a discussion about not interfering with a science experiment or it can alter the result!

For the next messy experiment, Mom will put things out of reach.....

What I've Made Lately...

My boys very much like the TV show VeggieTales and we watch it regularly, especially on Friday nights and Saturday, our Sabbath. I decided to crochet them a couple of amigurumi plush toys. I am not a fan of making amigurumi, it's single crochet stitch, small hooks and specific counting. Phew. But the things we do for our kids!

So I give you, Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber.

I've also started working on a little something for me. I love the show Duck Dynasty and decided to make myself some embroidered wall decor!!

I'll take a picture when I'm finished with my bearded buddies. :)

What have you been crafting?

Enjoying May....

This month has been busy already, and it's only two weeks in! The boy and I are having a good time homeschooling, despite the expected complaints about some of the work that needs to be done. We have about ten days left before our summer vacation starts, and we're having fun!

We went on down to the zoo on an unseasonably cool day. 

 Cheesing with a fake snake!

 We wrote a list of all the animals they wanted to see, he was checking the list.

 "Digging" in the archeology section.

 It's always good to see the rainbow, a promise of God's love.

 Cruising through puddles on the bike.

After a scary storm, a beautiful sunset illuminates on the clouds. We like to take time to enjoy the beauty God has given.

So, it's been a beautiful couple of weeks in May, and I'm looking forward to our upcoming summer.
