FridayFavs!

Dear Midwest friends and family,
I know you think you just got a lot of snow.
And comparing, well is usually over rated... a waste of time.
However, I wanted to just share this view out of our front door
so that you can indeed see that, "this to shall pass" and well,
the Popes will still be covered in snow.
 
 
So here amidst the Narniaish weather
at the Pope house we are getting creative.
Or trying our very best.
Which means a lot of copying.
Any good idea I have ever had, rest assured,
came from someone else much more brilliant than I.
Which, btw....those people aren't hard to come by.
 
 
And my dear not so little, Jordynn
is taking a photo collage class.
I thought these were some good catches
for her "color collage" project.
 
 


Nope didn't use PicMonkey on those.
She is beginning to really use the camera
and experiment with different angles etc.
Exciting!!
 
 
Happy Friday Friends!
May you find youselves in a padded room.
No, not that kind!
The one where building towers with huge foam
blocks and jumping off is always ok.

    Love it. That's a lot of snow. Can we see snowmen, and snowwomen next time. and it is great to see things from a different perspective.

    Blessings,

      Janis, thanks for stopping by! Yes, we have built many a snowmen/women but honestly with the snow as deep as it is, really it's only good for sledding in. :)

Never Too Late for Friday Favs!

Yes, I know it's Sat. It's actually lateish Sat. evening. FridayFavs are actually supposed to be posted on Friday. Which is not today. Obviously. Oh, time management we have already decided you are one of my greatest foes. However, since the past couple of weeks have been, well pretty wonderful I thought I would share in more of the fun and favorite things we did together. These here are some of our Favs from when the laundry fairy (AKA Nana) was still in town.  Making sweet treats     And a Pinata And just for the record Pinatas are hard to make. It is a project that takes about a week. Not 2 or 3 days Unless you live in the South and can put it outside to dry in Oct.     Best. Dad. Ever.     Ironman. Meg (from Little Women). And a pirate, of course. I love them all. Well, the children dressed up as them anyway.     Yup. This here is the...

This Last we do look forward to

Growing up, going to school there were two days most look forward to. The first day of school...and the last. Ok, so there were some in between, but we are talking about MOST looked forward to. It isn't a whole lot different with home schooling, but I must admit now I get that feeling that you teachers must feel at the end of the year...sweet relief...and it sure feels great! This year the kids helped me put together some games for an end of year par-tay. But first we decided an end of year photo is a must. Here is to our future veterinarian and firefighter...Lord willing... Koen, of course, was upset (just a little) that he did not have a sign. I love you Koen boy. There was a lot of chalk smashing and drawing and that helped Koen feel better. Balloon throwing. More Balloon throwing. Balloon Races Pizza Making Some finger paint. Found this idea at this sweet blog. And why not just chalk paint ...

Desert Diorama: FridayFavs

This wispy thing called time flies by when you're having fun. Or not. Or when your kids are sick. And this week as flown by. For all those reasons and more. Though we I did sneak in a few special moments with one of my favourite little men.     We decided to take a morning (while sister nursed a sore throat by staying in bed, listening to Adventures in Odyssey and reading) to build a desert diorama. Like most things in our life, it was pretty much a mess to begin with.     But like my mom is forever saying, "Sometimes you gotta make a mess to make a thang better." Did you hear the Southern drawl??     And tada. Something to feel good about. It's actually a desert with an oasis. Pretty brilliant, I know. Ok, maybe not but good enough for this mess of a home. And this handsome boy, he smiled big.     Cause accomplishment always feels good. Even in the small th...
