January!

Wow, January has been a great month!

January 1st brought a painting party to the tree houses.  I thought it was really cold, but we just kept painting!  It's a barn red now and looks really nice.  Jeff finished off the paint on it recently.

Putting together one of his Christmas presents.  He told me recently while building a lego set that he loves to build things-to put them together!  I think that's neat.

Star Wars, Star Wars and more Star Wars!  We checked out so many books from the library about Star Wars...we went today and they kids couldn't really decide which ones to get because they've pretty much been through them all!

Their job for themselves today was "harvesting" clover.

Jeff's new Old Smokey.

Homeschool-learning about money.

Art may be her favorite subject.

Cooking time.  This particular time was zucchini carrot cake!  She loves baking and cooking so much!

My new chopper really chops those carrots!!!

Such a happy school girl. 

Finally doing another Christmas present-their terrarium!  It's terrific!

My favorite handyman!  <3

Sometimes Rachel has a hard time liking her clothes, so I decided we would paint them and see if it helped.  This one is a sheep.
