Teaching Tuesday

This semester we have been studying geography for Teaching Tuesday.

During craft time, the kids are making rain sticks and they study Uganda.

Kitchen time. Both boys' favorite part!

Hunter and Eli. Hunter is a new friend this year.

Siblings

LA Zoo

As part of their Fur and Feather patch, Den 3 took a trip to the LA Zoo. They were all like animals let loose from their cage!

Jonah wanted to make sure he had a picture taken with a koala.

Triplet Birthday Party

Wyatt, Abbey and Clark are three! They had a fun cooking party where they were able to eat their creations.

Ready for Halloween!

Dan made the costume this year.

Homemade Slippers. Thank you Auntie Julia!

Castaic Mud Run

Jonah participated in the 1 mile Kids Fun Run as part of the Castaic Mud Run this year. After he completed the one mile run, he got back in line again and said he wanted to do it all over again! Next year, he wants to do the 3K instead of the Kid Run so it will be more challenging.

Eli and Gideon. Eli decided to sit this one out.

Getting ready to go up the big hill.

Field Trip to Amy's Farm

We took a field trip all the way to Ontario to visit a farm where we could milk cows. With the closure of Lombardi's Ranch this year, this was their chance to pick from a pumpkin patch as well. Farmer Amy was very informative. As a homeschool mom herself, she was excited to have our group. Jonah and Eli each milked the cow. Although parents had the option to give it a try as well, I took a pass.

AWANA T & T

Today was parent day at AWANA T & T (Truth and Training). Jonah has moved up to the big boys group of 3rd through 6th graders.  So far, he is not a fan of the additional requirements for AWANA. He is committed to see this year through and we will see what happens for next year.

Jonah during game time. The strong athlete as always!

Ender brainstorm

This year, Jonah is learning how to organize a paragraph. This week, we were working on a paragraph about our favorite pet. Jonah of course, picked Ender. Below is his initial brainstorm while getting his paragraph ready to go.

Soup Plantation

One of the boys' favorite restaurants (besides McDonald's!) is Soup Plantation. My guess it has more to do with the ice cream bar than the salad bar.

PE friends

The best part of PE is spending time with other boys!

AWANA Sparky

Parent Day at Sparkys. Eli held the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance.

It was also CrAzY hair day! Eli is sporting red hair gel.

Game Time! Eli was playing tug-of-war.

Eli's First Cub Scout Patch

Eli earned his first patch at the pack meeting tonight. He earned this patch from practicing the Cub Scout Oath and Law. Like Jonah, he followed tradition and received the patch while turned upside down.

Kidz Love Soccer!

Eli is continuing on his third year of Kidz Love Soccer through Santa Clarita recreation department. He is starting to ask when he will start having games on the weekend so I think we may be switching over to AYSO in the near future. In the meantime, I am proud to say he is one of the better soccer players out there and is doing a great job. Last week, he charged the soccer field toward the ball while yelling "FREEDOM!" and then proceeded to make a goal. So Eli!
