Getting crafty

Here are Bee and Frankie sewing clothes for their dolls. Bee is sewing a pair of underwear and Frankie is sewing a skirt. Considering I am the one teaching them how to sew, the outfits will be very, very simple! Still, they did a really great job with a needle and thread!! Once the outfits are complete we shall have another fashion show and post pics!!

Team Europe!

Here is Bee presenting with her group, Team Europe. In the group report she said that Scotland was formed from volcanic activity and that she helped to draw the forests and made the map key. The group was very proud of their poster! Pretty good for second grade!



And then the other night Frankie asked me if I was ready for the fashion show. So I said sure! And i waited to see what she was going to dress up in. I was wrong. She brought me into the kitchen and showed me a bunch of pictures she drew of girls (and one boy) with different outfits. I thought that was cute.

Whats for supper?

What's for supper? Why is that such a hard question every day? Well, we seem to do variations on pasta, fish and beans every single night. Tonight we having bean soup ("pastavazoo" - or pasta y fagioli), a staple in our family in the colder weather. It was one of my faves as a kid. Its basically, cannellini beans, onions, garlic, tomato, water, and rosemary if you have it fresh. We don't, so no rosemary tonight. However, we love to have the soup with bread and we just so happen to have fresh baked loaf from Scott's sister, Colleen. (thanks!). And of course we will have it with popped broccoli! What else is new! haha. I hope you stop by for supper!

This is how Cho Cho sits at the playground when we play. We call it "chochovision"!

Something spooky

Bee had to write a story about something spooky for school and so she wrote a story about a ghost. here is the picture she drew to illustrate her story. I had to laugh as it is the sweetest, cutest ghost i have seen in a while!

A nature day

We had fun with nature today. We found a spider in her web eating a fly!! I hope you can see it in this picture! Then we found an old hornets nest that Frankie is holding in her hand. And then there was the playground and the hike around the fields with Ms. Cho!
