Art in the home

Fall is my favorite season and Halloween is by far my favorite holiday.  It was good to have Miriam and Vauna around as an excuse to start crafting for the season.  We made two birds to help deck out our houses in holiday decor and completed activity 9 of the Art in the Home badge in the process.

I found this crow idea on the Ordinary Life Magic blog.  It only took a few minutes and these crows were zooming all around the house.

And last, I found these witchy birds at The Magic Onions.

Finding your way or Never Eat Soggy Waffles

With the help of Miriam's dad, the girls were able to earn their Finding Your Way badge on Saturday. 

learning about maps and directions

Despite the 98 degree heat, they completed activities 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, sand 8.  Activity 6 is "Map the Place" and I bet all the girls have done this at school.  Vic. went to talk to Miriam's class last Friday and had them map the location of all of the resources in their classroom.
