Happy Halloween!

HaPpY HaLloWeEn !!! I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Truthfully its not my favorite holiday but I do like the fun traditions that my girls enjoy and love to see the excitement on there faces and remember how much fun I had as a kid on this day of endless candy possibilities! So this year we ended up with two cute little fairies, it was so fun to see Emma and Hanna dance every chance they had. Makenzie after reading a book on Pocahontas really wanted to be her. And Michelle fasinated with the spooky part of halloween decided to be a skelleton. This is the girl who watched The Wizard of Oz and had nightmares for two years... The weather was so great! and the girls were pleased with the ammount of candy. We ended our night with the tradition of the girls laying out there candy and trading with eachother while watching The nightmare before christmas. I think I only had to break up two arguments! Girls and chocolate!!

School time!

How cool is science?? I always save it for last just like desert!
The girls had a blast looking at the magnetic field with iron filings. The next picture is of us making our own compass by magnetizing a needle then placing it on a piece of cork floating in a glass of water. It actually works! Amazing! You know school is going good when we go over two hours :)

School time!

Well it's been a great first two months of school! I love the beginning when they just cant wait to start. This year we are studying some great things, American history, electricity, magnetism, Incas, Aztec and Mayan culture. It is fascinating to learn right along with the girls. What a great world and time we live in!!
