Week at home

Well, you can tell I haven't traveled this week because I haven't blogged much!  But, we have been doing school around here.  We always try to make the most of our school days and are enjoying our new curriculum. However, we do have our hard days and have had them already this school year.

Through our studies on the countries & cultures of different continents this year, we are in North America for the first 6 weeks of school.  This past week we traveled to Mexico.

Passport to Mexico, with a stamp of the flag inside and peso money for each girl

Boarding passes for the girls!

We also began reading our first book in a series of Christian missionary stories.  Our first story is on Cameron Townsend that Avery read for us one evening.  The temperature is so nice, we enjoyed a cool evening on the back porch.  While he read, the girls made clay sun faces as their Mexican craft. Next week, we will have a Mexico party with friends and then of course go out one night for Mexican food!

I tried to post the finished product, but had some technical difficulties, but the girls did enjoy their art project.  And in case you are wondering, the peso money and boarding passes were printed right off the internet, so they are not real or valid!

Enjoy your weekend!
