A Great Week

It’s Spring Break around here this week.  Even though we weren’t on Spring Break, we took advantage of some special programs being offered in the area – and what fun they’ve been!

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings the 4-H/Extension Office offered classes – an oil pastels art class, basket making, electricity (lamp making) and a horticulture class.  They were WONDERFUL!  Here’s a picture of the projects.

Wednesday afternoon was our regularly scheduled Keepers At Home meeting.  This week’s class was taught by my Mom and the topic was CAKE DECORATING!  The girls all seemed to have a great time.  My Mom sent them all home with their very own decorating tip and a little booklet of cake decorating how-to’s.  It was a messy day, but beautiful cakes were created.  Here’s a picture of Mahayla’s finished product.  Thank you, Momma!

EclecticEducation left a comment letting me know she saw my blog was nominated for a couple of blog awards.  I think I have Nancy from Nancysnook to thank for those nominations.  Thank you, Nancy!  You can see all the nominees’ sites at www.homeschoolblogawards.com – there are some really helpful blogs out there!
