Every Monday evening, we gather together as a family to spend time with each other. We call it Family Home Evening. We sing songs, we pray, and we talk and teach our children about important things. A while ago, I mentioned that we talked about emergency preparedness. This week, we added a few more things to our 72-hour kits. Pocket knives, fishing line, hooks, and bait, chapstick, sunscreen and other things. Lance found some really cool whistles online. They can open up to store matches. Curly Girly was able to get 15 matches into her whistle.
I also did a little rearranging. Costco had some large maps and I finally got around to putting them up. Once we get a homeschool room, they'll be relocated, but for now, I think this is suitable. CG loves asking where Grandma's and Grandpa's, aunts and uncles are. We also learned a little bit about Egypt, so we looked that up on the map as well. (Don't mind the half eaten apple on my kitchen table... life happens)
Underneath the maps, we have a calendar. The kids love putting the weather cards on each day. At the end of each month, I plan on making a grid and learning about how to make a chart.
Little Elf is 4 months old today. She's getting way too big, too fast. It's been so fun seeing her little personality come out.
Tomorrow is Curly Girly's birthday. I'll be sure to post pictures!
