Flat Kiddlets - A week with Aunt Silla!

The Flat Kidlets started their week helping Aunt Silla out on Hall Duty at the school she works for.

The next day, they helped her students with their lunches and visited the School's Bird Museum!

The next day, they helped her on the farm checking fences and checking on the cows, they even got stuck in the dirt helping her plant some things!

We got stuck in the mud when we were planting!

Looking at fences, we got to see the cows!

From Aunt Silla: "Today my little flat people and I worked hard in the garden, we picked asparagus, and rhubarb. Then Canned it they also visited with my grandma while I mowed the yard."

Flat Kidlets!

You know it's summer time now. Tonight we have our last event for Tori's Dance class, and then - POOF - ... It's instant Summer Goodness.

Granted - my kids are having to do overtime this summer working on school work to beef up their stuff. They'll have swim lessons, but they wanted something else.

.... The Flat Stanley Project ....

A friend of mine, Amanda Mack over at The Grateful Stead did this project with her kiddos. So now we are going to do it just for the fun of it.

I decided to do it a bit differently, because I really wanted them to have a real experience of that's me! So we actually did photographs of them, and I Photoshopped the background out. Then we printed off multiple copies and cut them out, laminated them, and cut them out again.

We have our own little letter that explains it, and encourages people to keep them. This way, there is multiple things going, and the kids should always have something to see. I'll post entries from our friends when we start getting them back here!

So thanks for listening! Happy Summer time!

I remember...

Today I went to church, and it was wonderful. The choir had an awesome program, and then the pastor came up to speak. And he requested that the congregation sing 'The Old Rugged Cross'.

My grandma loves that song, and I can remember curling up and listening to her sing it. She'd sing it while she was painting, and I just.. Wow.

Gran can't really sing anymore, and she's so much older and of course has her moments. But I miss being that little girl who curled up and listened to Grandma sing the old hymns. It just struck me today. That's all.

Have a happy Easter week, y'all!
