Our February !

We have had a really awesome January and February on our new school year schedule!  here are some pictures ...

We babysat one of our former foster kittens for a week  <3 Love you Bowser <3

We made Ice Art in exploring nature with children

Glory has been working hard at her math and can now do large number addition on paper <3 

 She is also getting better at her writing 

at UU she got started on RAC (random acts of kindness)

As always she has been very artistic !

We are ready for St patricks day !

Been working hard at the barn  !  2 days a week now

 She even made the horses name signs !

Glory went ice skating for the first time (with heart of surfing) ! 

She has been really into cooking her own food !

 Thankfully all the work we had to do on this place was just superficial

but wow it looks different now! and much cleaner!

Sewed her own stuffies

 Happy the landlord let us put in cabinet knobs  :) With those and the wall tile stickers its really transformed the kitchen
