Meanwhile, the boys built a trebuchet in the front yard.
Cinder-block powered, it throws rocks a hundred feet.
And it can throw smoke bombs taped to baseballs!

Busy Outside
While I've been busy inside, the children have been busy outside. Bella and Daisy went for a walk in the cold. How I love Bella's outrageous combinations! She dresses herself and her baby sister.

I found your page via diary of a law school mom, and I'm in love. I have to put my kids to bed so that I can spend hours reading you. I feel at peace on your page...I like that!
ReplyDeleteYOU!!!! are a good mom.
ReplyDeleteAnd those girls are so beautiful. What fashion taste! I love the outfits very much. Artsy!
Glorious! Floral-y cowboy boots and a trebuchet. your children look happy, and they should be.
ReplyDeleteWow! The beauty of homeschooling!
ReplyDeleteLove the vivid color in those first two pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd trebuchets.... they're so boy-ish aren't they? My boys own the Backyard Ballistics and The Art of The Catapult books. They've conquered the potato cannon and next on their list.... yep, a trebuchet!
Your girlies are delightful and your boys are awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of the new book out there called The Dangerous Book for Boys? We purchased it for a family of 5 boys...not that they need it. ;o)
That Bella's got style!
ReplyDeleteAwww...I love the first picture! What cute sisters.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pink cowboy boots. Wish they came in my size. My boys would be thrilled to build such a creation! Hope yours enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteSo, adding to my list of things that freak me out that aren't really that scary... trebuchets?
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the trebuchet. What a fun and clever thing for your boys to do. And, your girls are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just showed my 9 year old son the photo of your son. Impressed! Like your blog. Will continue to read it... God continue to bless.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pink cowboy boots with the pink floral skirt. Tell Bella "Bravo" for me. :-)

Beautiful photos, as always. Did you make Bella's skirt? Does it have a pattern? It looks like the perfect style for a girl her age.
