Few of the highlights:
* Rachel and Isabel washing clothes by hand and in the washing machine (comparing the prairie times of washing clothes to the present way of washing clothes)
* Another fun Art Lesson with Gram Cindy (painting with bright colors)
* Science Fun: Melting Chocolate Chips and then pouring the melted chocolate out and observing how it cools, just like lava -- forming igneous rock. Comparing obsidian and pumice (igneous) rocks. They are both chemically the same, yet very different. Just like Egg Yolk before beaten (obsidian) and then after beaten (pumice). Observing how pumice floats.
* Sleepover and school with the Patchins
* Playing our Greek Game and learning more Latin (with our DVD instructor)
* Visit with Mrs. Johnston -- we read her our puppy and October poems and told her what we had been learning
* Birthday fun with family and then party at Encore with friends
Egg Yolk (smooth with no bubbles just like obsidian) before it is beaten. After it is beaten it is more like pumice
Observing lava (melted chocolate chips) as it cools and hardens -- just like lava as it becomes igneous rock
Washing Clothes by hand
Sleepover fun with Isabel and Victoria

Another great Art Lesson with Gram Cindy
We even learned how to "burp" with Gram Cindy. She's so much fun! :)
Uncle Chris and Alyssa stopped by with Rachel's birthday present --- Mouse Trap. Uncle Chris stayed and played it with us! (after we had pizza together :))
What a fun Birthday weekend! We had ice cream with Grandma Judy the night before Rachel's birthday. The morning of her birthday, Rachel woke up to breakfast in bed and a decorated home (Mom, Dad, and Brother decorated with signs, streamers and balloons) Here is Rachel with her birthday balloons from Encore and one of her signs as well as her T-shirt with a rhinestone "R" made with one of her birthday gifts! :)
Another great week. I like the b'day and sleepover photos. So, did they get to eat the cooled lava? ;-)
