Halloween Costumes for Sale

These are the cutest little bumblebee costumes! They are from Babystyle's website. Both are in great condition, I am in the process of washing them right now as it appears they are a little dusty. Both are size 18-24 months. I'm asking $7 a piece or both costumes for $10.

Organic Apples for sale

I'm not sure what type of apples they are as we did not plant the tree however they are sweet enough to eat or I made applesauce and apple butter with them last year. This year we have a ton of these, more than I can preserve with my hurt ankle. I'm asking $3 for about a 5 pound bag of apples. Leave me a comment if your interested or email me at n_baron@msn.com.

We are still one lesson behind in both science and history. Working on catching up this week.

Archaelogical dig and Homemade Swimming Pool

Above our pictures of the twins and their homemade swimming pool with jumping platform. They can find endless ways to entertain themselves especially if allowed to play with the garden hose. No kidding this pool kept them entertained for well over 2 hours the other day.

The bottom picture is of the history project Nathan did for school. We were learning about archaeology and we decided to do our own dig. We filled a box with dirt than hid some little treasures for Nathan to find. After he found items he used index cards to label his findings, draw a picture of his findings, and to describe what he thought his items were used for. Overall it was really fun and the twins ended up wanting to join in the fun. We spent almost 3 hours doing digs yesterday.
