Redneck Curling

My dh had a great idea yesterday. He had the children out shoveling the snow off of the pond. Then he made half of a curling court. The children were reluctant at first but soon had a great time.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Now that we have the power back on, we are enjoying the snow.


I loved these snowmen holding hands.

This was the same pumpkin that Deborah was sitting on this fall. It is almost completely empty now. We've seen squirrels inside and chickens sticking their heads in.

And what is a Christmas without Star Wars snowflakes?

Edible Cells

We are studying Biology this year in school. And what better way to study cells than to make edible ones!


Tree Trimming (Fall version!)

Now that the Christmas cards are out and all the presents are wrapped and the cookies baked, I can catch up on the Blog. We had a big dead limb on our oak out back. So my dh took care of it this fall.

First he cut off the two ends of the branch.




Then he worked on the main branch.


And no one got hurt or knocked off the ladder. Success all around!
