Magic Club

Well today was a busy one! Half homeschooling and half cleaning/ridding. The kiddos and I did Magic Tree House activities. We did Warriors of the Sea and Land. We made medieval castles out of yellow box cake, frosting and upside down ice cream cones (the towers). The kiddos ate the drawbridges heading into their castles tonight for dessert (: They also made a medieval castle out of cardboard-complete with cardboard knights. We played pirate ship attack which is the game Battleship on paper with paper pirate ships to sink. They played Ninjas versus Samarais on paper which is completing boxes and whomever completes the most boxes on paper wins. We did a maze with reading comp. questions from one of the books. I also read the MTH book about Ninjas out loud along with Boys and Girls of Colonial Days-2 chapters. Today was mostly no television day which was nice. The kiddos thought it was a fun day! You should have seen the kitchen table after making medieval cake castles but it was well worth it seeing their smiles!

In the afternoon, we did a major fall cleaning. Went through three bookcases to lessen the book load in our house. Went through two closets and kitchen pantry. It was great. We are looking forward to more ridding of our stuff and hope to do another yard sale this upcoming weekend with weather permitting. Doing this with the hope of lessening what we have to pack when the big move comes. Besides with our big dream of fulltiming it in a RV we need to lessen and lessen and lessen our stuff anyway. IT FEELS GREAT!!!
