Weeks 23 & 24 India

I am so behind in blogging and I just started this blog. Such is life with kids I suppose.

While touring India we learned about their cultures and celebrated Brother and Sister day by making bracelets for eachother and watching The Jungle Book movie. We watched the cartoon and the old movie. The kids liked the cartoon better, but said the old movie fit the book better. Doodlebug read the unabridged version for his reader for school these weeks.

Here is a picture of the kids doing the bracelets and their cards they made for eachother.


They thought it was neat that in India family is so important they actually have a day to celebrate sisters :) Especially Pollywog!

We read these books for our studies.

On Friday Fun Day we had Indian mango dessert. They were really good, but then anything mango usually is. Here is some pics of the kids making and enjoying them.



Learning to use a spoon is an important part of school around here :) Inchworm is getting all A's of course!



Here we are playing the geography game with white chocolate morsels. YUM! Somehow I never win though. I think it may have something to do with those sneaky little hands that are so quick to grab my chocolate peices.

We got some much needed yard work in the month of May. So thankful for the nice warm days!
Daddy and Doodlebug working on the cherry limbs.
Pollywog taking pictures of one of the cherry trees. She is getting very excited for the cherries to be ripe. I can't understand how the kids can still eat them knowing they have worms in them. Blah!


Inchworm has also been learning to put shoes on. They aren't always his size ;) He's proud anyways though.

Sick day for Mr. Inchworm :( Still so cute even with a fever.

More yard work. Helping Daddy mow.

It wouldn't be a day in the life of a boy without some good old chicken chasing. Holly is more than happy to oblige in the chase.

And that sums up our India travels. Since then we have been to China and are currently visiting Russia. Those will have to wait till another day to share though. The duties of being a Mama are calling :)
