Heidelberg, Germany

Hello November!!

We did a little Fall Batik art project and we were so thrilled with how it turned out.  It was super easy and fun to do. We cut an old pillow case and taped it to the table.  Then we sketched a design on it and went over it with washable glue.  After it dried for 12 hours we pained over it.  

 Then you wash it in the sink with hot water.

We hung it outside to dry

I am going to get a twig and some twin and hang it with that but here it is for now. 

It turned out so well we are going to try some other designs.

 Out at the barn

 It is hard to capture on film how much Meg loves horses

Thought I would share a few of the treasures we have found while out thrifting in the last few weeks.

I found this Aquarellum kit.  We have used their products before and were very impressed.  I picked this one up for a great deal and only one print was missing.  Everything else was there!  Meg loves to paint.

 Here is a print she is working on

 Meg found this little address book

 It was so sweet for only $2.00

 I picked this little journal up for Meg.

 How cute is this little stamp I found

 I LOVE it!!

 I gave it to Meg

 Meg found these sweet little glass horses for $1.50

 Owen found some D-Day stamps

 Mimi found this beautiful sterling horse book mark while thrifting with us here and gave it to Meg.  Meg was so thrilled

 We found a this riding shirt for Meg.

 and a sweet jacket

 Check out these infantry soldiers Owen found.  Even Owen like to thrift sometimes.

On to other news.

Owen went to the pet store and with his own money bought this little tank and a fish.  He picked out some plants and rocks and set it all up.  

 It looks really cool at night

We love our diffusers!!  I ordered some Cinnamon for the season.  

 Owen got this beautiful diffuser for Meg for her birthday.  It changes colors and plays music.  Meg is super into her diffuser!!

 We love candles and usually always have one going.

 Meg's collections of oils

We picked up our shoe boxes time to fill them up!

We headed to a HillSong concert.  With earplugs I am good to go!

 
 Pasta - it's whats on the menu when trying to fill up growing kids.

 Rolling along with our school schedule

 We just finished the following books:
The kids were happy when this one was over.  Not a favorite.

This was a tough read.  The reality of war. Owen enjoyed this one but it was too sad and depressing for me and Meg








Kids loved this one!

We are currently reading the following for school devotions.

This one is on our reading list and we are about half way through.  We are liking this one!

Meg is reading the fourth book in the Benedict Society.  She loves this series!  

 Owen reads anything and everything my Marcus Luttrell.  He is a big fan.

and that's a wrap!
