boys to big bear & girly things at home

scott took jojo & kik to big bear this past weekend. the annual big bear bronco bash is a treat for all the guys. they do crazy things in the bronco. the boys actually claimed they were fearful several times that the bronco would flip over - sounds like they were having fun! sorry - no photos from the hill.

ky & sy & i did girly things. we were working out of her "little keepers at home" manual. we worked on the sewing skill and the cookie baking skill. for sy we went to the pet store and bought crickets to feed the lizards. (my regular cricket catchers were in big bear - and since i'm not so great at catching bugs, we opted to buy them).

ky got a new "sewing box" which holds her supplies. we used them to measure and cut fabric. then we ironed and sewed our cute aprons!

we wore them the next day while baking cookies.

it was a fun weekend and i realized that i have missed working on projects with the kids. i commit to be more intentional about creating fun and useful projects with my kids. i'm excited about our keepers at home and contenders of the faith books. they have a lot of fun and useful ideas and help us keep our eyes on Jesus.
