Other May happenings

Here are some more things from May (snippets that didn't make their own post).....

~

Our homeschool group had our end of the school year party and field day.

getting lined up for tug-o-war

 pull!  This tug was kids vs moms....the kids won!  (that's a lot of kids!)

 Rose and her sweet friend Lily W.

Rose is a good helper around the house.  She does well with the laundry, cleaning, and helping me cook and bake.

My little chef!

We sometimes walk over to the little lake in our neighborhood.

Here she is feeding the ducks.

We went to another Homeschool Conference this month.  Not as big the one last month, but still very nice.  Rose did some exploring with her friend Autumn around the exhibit hall and found a Math game she really liked.  I think this is the game:
Albert's Insomnia
I am thinking about getting it for her.  Have any of you ever played it?

Lately Rose has been making a lot of things with her melty beads.  She can do it pretty independently, too.
 
First she places all the beads on the form.  She often uses tweezers for this step.

Then she turns on the iron and gets some wax paper.  Irons the beads until they melt.  Peels it off the form and irons the other side.


Here is a video she wanted to record

Daddy walks to the train station and rides the train to work.
On occasion when it is close to time for daddy to be home, we will walk up the street to meet daddy walking home from the train station.
Here daddy and Rose are walking back to the house after we had met him part way.

And that is a peek in to our May 2011.
