We also had skillet taco pie, slow-cooker carnitas, and shrimp and grits, all of which managed to avoid photographs! But they were all yummy!

~ABC Virtue of the Week: Patience~

Well, the virtue coloring pages I'd been using have run out with letter O. So, since Caroline seems to like them, I attempted to illustrate the rest myself and come up with the virtues. So I chose sharing for S and drew a coloring page of kids sharing a wagon by taking turns pulling and riding. My drawing isn't as good as the originals, and I haven't drawn much in recent years, so it's nothing fancy, but if anyone has been doing the virtue coloring pages and wants some pre-made for P and on, I would be happy to figure out how to upload them to Google Docs or something. Still reading Caroline a relevant story from this sweet little book full of stories with morals to them to correspond with the virtue coloring pages.

~Activities for S Week~

S is for Sewing

Caroline used a Klutz sewing book to do some basic sewing projects, which she really enjoyed... she did all three in one sitting! Here she sews a bracelet...
