Cleaning out old email files is really a blessing :) I'm thinking it would be wonderful to put together an update and take up doing this again at least to some degree, to keep a record to look back on. I was GREAT about taking pics and printing them off when the kids were little but NOT GREAT about getting them into albums and organized. Now with the digital age i'm not great about taking all the pics and I NEVER print them. So doing more here would at least leave a place to go to and see them :) So.....update coming later! Hopefully with some very updated pics!!mom2fourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07452373772054437942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093229582598276032.post-74826569996052757302011-05-27T09:22:00.000-05:002011-05-27T09:22:06.275-05:00Our piece of history...Last Friday we were able to participate in a field trip with several other homeschoolers. We were able to travel back in time to 1910, to a one room school house for a full day of school. This was complete with a packed lunch only like they would have been able to pack back then and dress as they would have. So here they are beginning their day, of course the girls are on one side and boys on the other.......unless you act up to much and have to sit on the opposite side! Thankfully we didn't have anyone have to do that ;)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYpxt_GoDMnTxL_N1DIy2eJRyUlNRbYLMnstJbAS2ioEgdoJGQARAGzoi4oMfqTKAg7N4jqpy1afpWwNzZhzgzIV03O2X63WLj4qUXxKMFyQ3FVkzH5SmDlZ-Zb7WoC0hE0VXDFzpoiK6E/s1600/april+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYpxt_GoDMnTxL_N1DIy2eJRyUlNRbYLMnstJbAS2ioEgdoJGQARAGzoi4oMfqTKAg7N4jqpy1afpWwNzZhzgzIV03O2X63WLj4qUXxKMFyQ3FVkzH5SmDlZ-Zb7WoC0hE0VXDFzpoiK6E/s320/april+019.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Of course I had some GREAT intentions of taking lots of pics and documenting everything......which didn't happen :) But I have to share our grand adventure. As we were exiting the hwy in a not so great part of town in the Kansas City area mom's engine just dropped the gear. No matter how she tried to change (even reverse) nothing was catching. So we found some guys at the QT a block away, which was why we were getting off in the first place, to get gas there, and asked them to help us push the car into the parking lot. They towed us with a chain into the parking lot where we started checking things and making phone calls. Long story short 3 1/2 hours later we were on the road in a rental van while mom's van was towed to a dealer to get a new transmission! Lovely start huh :)<br />
<br />
Well after making it to Des Moines and staying the night with my cousin we headed to the capitol building the next day for a tour. The Zipper was full of excitement<br />

It's a coating that if you scrapped it all together would be about the size of a baseball....wow, that's a small amount to spread over that whole dome! I believe they said it has to be redone about every 20 years. It takes about 2 years to do it because weather conditions have to be exact for them to do it in.<br />
<br />
The 2 younger boys needed a nap so my mom and cousin took the older 2 to the military museum on the base where she works. Among other things the kids loved the para-scope.<br />

I'm just now realizing I didn't really take any pictures of family or other activities we did :( We also went to the Music Man Museum in Mason City and visited with my Aunt and other family there.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got the coolest idea to do along with Easter this year. It really has nothing to do with WHY we celebrate Easter, it's just added fun for <s>mom</s> the kids! I of course can't find where I got the idea now....if you know PLEASE link it in a comment and I'll add it. But here it is (sorry, only partial pics) The idea is that you have wheat grass, or something similar, and you have the kids put jellly beans into the grass....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Yep, that's me (don't wiggle your finger at me now and lecture me on how terrible I am......I've already done that myself.) great intentions......hey some years I've even bought them on clearance for the next year but alas I can never find that great place I put them to not forget next year......until of course like Valentines day!

Since the motto for the day was "Waste not, want not" we also talked about how they did this on the family farm. This first machine you would put the dried out corn husks in to get all the kernels off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzCDALLyaIOSWf1990CV6x1FUBHZ9r_d3SXkA28ujiOPLSaulQu3AbmcFi1dbNjSv96C6LdneIJS8af8sxt-Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />
This machine was a sorter. It sorted the corn into small, med, and large bins. The small kernels were used to feed the animals as there teeth are usually smaller anyway. The med kernels were for making food for the family, and the large ones were for planting crops for the next season.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I've been all over these hair flowers and a friend from church who's noticed asked if I wanted a necklace of hers that had broken to use for flowers or whatever. She showed it to me ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvtaq_exvR_nTHfUolQktEn93DPm14mGqcXTH1IKwT5BZJXqLB-YiHtF-tkJMTBOWNcKyn_ZD8fwOPPw7xX0soc7e2B0MVqQsAVMYdYBYmQA6ntHcw8Po3G-PuBYO27TXgjzRNo7xErgtp/s1600/Nov+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvtaq_exvR_nTHfUolQktEn93DPm14mGqcXTH1IKwT5BZJXqLB-YiHtF-tkJMTBOWNcKyn_ZD8fwOPPw7xX0soc7e2B0MVqQsAVMYdYBYmQA6ntHcw8Po3G-PuBYO27TXgjzRNo7xErgtp/s320/Nov+012.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and I explained to her that I could easily fix the clip or replace the ribbon if she'd rather have the necklace back. She said really she'd just like a hair flower made out of the flower on the necklace but with a little more added to it :) So I got to work looking around....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXzNs8yGNWVEi27sZx0J0_AaNtIWthTqhTsxXTndrzl-T4-eAHHkz7tQwDLmPhRR96hzs8utEhu6z2ZptQeEeCQhQF_x3ATpLx3-NhglZJ-PekT88ynVLrNSQjURZHNFJkmdXBW5EVzwu/s1600/Nov+015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXzNs8yGNWVEi27sZx0J0_AaNtIWthTqhTsxXTndrzl-T4-eAHHkz7tQwDLmPhRR96hzs8utEhu6z2ZptQeEeCQhQF_x3ATpLx3-NhglZJ-PekT88ynVLrNSQjURZHNFJkmdXBW5EVzwu/s320/Nov+015.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>and I found an old scarf from Lerner New York from when I was in high school! Way out of style now, but lovely print ;)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvNJ4dzUY57iCZNEvnox2U8GCYlqW5tua7ctkY2MreLY8kvTexrDf0qYJNjR49kc_oPXAYYZFcWCb-uaDZuIUh8mHMhDmAZM9vwQ0q4emc46lborJ00VWpl6ZMJjLXt6v46mqH5X5H2TY/s1600/Nov+016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvNJ4dzUY57iCZNEvnox2U8GCYlqW5tua7ctkY2MreLY8kvTexrDf0qYJNjR49kc_oPXAYYZFcWCb-uaDZuIUh8mHMhDmAZM9vwQ0q4emc46lborJ00VWpl6ZMJjLXt6v46mqH5X5H2TY/s320/Nov+016.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> So I cut out some circles and used a lighter to seal the edges and cause the curling. (I think I ended up doing about 7.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nj8oMpwyORRJl2vqwl7V7f7i-XWnaeI8O7LhML6YkXL-K2V6AOWeyCdidAGAPQdcivk-hVNHYWWnG-gO-5n71syuUGrxn92EDgCR38y9U6CYhzpP58vVk6ME40iOUVoF5dinwNzsNztB/s1600/Nov+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nj8oMpwyORRJl2vqwl7V7f7i-XWnaeI8O7LhML6YkXL-K2V6AOWeyCdidAGAPQdcivk-hVNHYWWnG-gO-5n71syuUGrxn92EDgCR38y9U6CYhzpP58vVk6ME40iOUVoF5dinwNzsNztB/s320/Nov+018.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Next you fold the circle in half...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm55GIkcbOW7h5STuLloJFEMgw9ZTp6c2Fot2FtsmitCjnPzDns8PJYXYqybhBhGazV1vwbrtZrHmWWKYaIxP5crXOP-p1nsYmNREiQzS21kWWbXeuas2HgMi_xCDIFUr_Zk6A5szwIw1C/s1600/Nov+019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm55GIkcbOW7h5STuLloJFEMgw9ZTp6c2Fot2FtsmitCjnPzDns8PJYXYqybhBhGazV1vwbrtZrHmWWKYaIxP5crXOP-p1nsYmNREiQzS21kWWbXeuas2HgMi_xCDIFUr_Zk6A5szwIw1C/s320/Nov+019.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Then fold again, not quite in half but about 2/3 so it gives it some pretty body. I didn't show this step but I just began hand sewing each one on until it was as full as I wanted it and I got the finished result :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVpwM2zjMY2PcBRRIxuI_9yqrC91vLq1MfO1xgjIDB9slHR-MxbNrfFZMa5Yoo3pSrtV4ic3-IjT2Spe5y926I_BTwm0vsLDYawzNZMZvF73AaYhkpkDco-WGlUQaxgGwqlupp3NnD7j9H/s1600/Nov+021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVpwM2zjMY2PcBRRIxuI_9yqrC91vLq1MfO1xgjIDB9slHR-MxbNrfFZMa5Yoo3pSrtV4ic3-IjT2Spe5y926I_BTwm0vsLDYawzNZMZvF73AaYhkpkDco-WGlUQaxgGwqlupp3NnD7j9H/s320/Nov+021.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Then you just add a piece of stiff felt on the bottom and add your alligator clip or pin, which ever you desire. Easy peasy :) I also went ahead and fixed the necklace and made my own flower to attach to it.....<br />

So you may be asking where I've been.........busy! LOL I got to looking back at last year about this time to link to a post about my daughter and I being in "A Christmas Carol", then I realized I NEVER blogged about it!! Ack, so from October of last year, when practices started (Mon - Fri nights from 6:30 to about 9ish) till a couple days before Christmas, when the play was over, I didn't post at all~! So I guess no linking to last year, I'll just show you some pictures instead :)<br />

After seeing some cute candy corn tees around I decided I wanted to make one :) So I took a white eyelet shirt I had that had become to big and cut it up to be my white. I also took a yellow shirt of my boys that didn't fit right and was rather worn and cut it for the yellow. I then sewed it together like strips.<br />
<br />

She invited the kids and I to come check it out as they had a B-17 there for a display for this weekend where they'll also be offering rides for $430/person! It's an old plane that was used in WWII though so it's pretty cool. They weren't able to let us inside at this time (it'll be open this weekend) but we did get to see inside one of their other smaller planes.....it was still really cool for the kids!<br />

They have pieces of pottery already made that you can purchase and paint there then they fire them and you come back to pick them up a few days later. Easy enough right......<br />
