. We are still enjoying the book very much and can’t believe how different it is from the movie. I think the movie is going to be a disappointment to them!

, Insect Detective, and for Thanksgiving fun, P is for Pilgrim and The Very First Thanksgiving Day. We watched a Magic School Bus dvd called Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!We did a very simple letter I craft. I got the idea from Stacey at BraininTrainin. I modified it to fit I is for Insect and I even had all the craft supplies on hand.
just being goofy...
We used a coloring page of St. Ignatius from Paper Dali.
We have really been enjoying going Along the Alphabet Path with Serendipity. I love the flexibility and ease of use. We have been using the core books each week. The written story on flowers and fairies, Letters from Heaven, An Alphabet of Catholic Saints, Book of Saints, and Book of Heroes.
Each week I can decide to use the suggested books from the site or go on our own and do what is relevant to our family. For instance in a couple of weeks "K" will be all about Korea and we are very much looking forward to that week. I can be as crafty or not as crafty as time and our week allows. Same with the kitchen treats. The structure is there with lots of wiggle room to do what my particular kids are interested in. We love it!
I am thankful for...the opportunity to be home with my children.
Don't forget to link up your week! Link back to me and then take a moment to visit the other great blogs that are linked up and leave a comment. Have a great weekend.

Like you "I" craft ;)!
SO happy to see you are finally going to get to meet your nephew! Definitely lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!
Thanks for hosting the link up :)
Sorry I posted my link twice. Darn. It didn't show up the first time so I didn't think it went through.
At any rate, you need to tell me how you like the Church renewal book. It sounds so interesting! And the book you are reading to the girls sounds like something Ester and Mabel would like to read.
Isn't it amazing how fast this school year is passing by? Enjoy your weekend and give your new nephew a big hug and kiss from us!
HI Jen!
Your week looked busy and fun! I'm amazed how you seem to get so much accomplished in your school week (and blog about it too) with all your little ones! I feel like I'm just trying to keep my head above water to keep up with homeschooling my "cupcakes".
Thanks for linking up again for our Thankful Hearts blog hop!
Have a blessed weekend!
