Candlelight Dinner

For awhile the girls didn't really want to eat as a family, which wasn't a big deal really, but one day we really wanted them to so we broke out the candles and asked them to join us. They willingly obliged. :)

Popcorn

These things are a blast to make. They always think that it is going to explode like it does in the movies.

Movie Fort

This was a blast and the girls really enjoyed it.

Before:





















After:

Plant *anything*

It was my idea to do the Tomatos, but Lilly decided to go for Maple trees (I think, I am really not a plant person). We will take pics of those on Sunday.

Have a "floury" day

This was fun.

Make a word

We printed & cut these letters out last September. Then we taped them to posterboard with heavy duty packing tape so they were "like laminated".















This was Lilly's idea and it is one of her imaginary friend's (who are usually aunt's or grandmas and are sometimes hard for me to pronounce) names.











































Then we had to spell out Marti's name.

Writing Haiku

Marti was reading Spiderwort and The Princess Of Haiku, which is a story in The Fairy Chronicles, recently and came downstairs to ask if we could write Haikus. We looked up "the rules" on wikipedia and discovered that it is 5 sylables, 7 sylables, then 5 sylables and lots of other interesting things.

So, I wrote two off the top of my head to "warm us up".

Marti
Beautiful Marti
She is my pride and my joy
I love her a lot.

Lilly
Her hair is so blonde
Her eyes are beautiful hazel
My little Lilly.

Then, Marti and I wrote one together

Marigold
Fairy Chronicles
Marigold is so pretty
Her gift is special.

Marti wrote one herself.

Pizza
Pizza and Ice Cream
They are very delicious
I like them a lot

Lilly and I wrote one as well.

Horses
I love them because
Horses are very pretty
I want to pet them
