Toothpaste....

I love the "unschooling" we are doing these last weeks of school.  Today, we are reading the Toothpaste Millionaire.  We decided to experiment with eye shadow~ as is mentioned in the book:)


I pulled out some makeup (yes, I do own some) and we got to it!


Dalaina did Faith's eyes, I did Dalaina's and Faith did mine!




...then, we moved on for a homemade toothpaste challenge!



The girls each got to make a small tub of toothpaste and choose the color.



We flavored it with peppermint extract---then,we moved to the test phase:)



It turns out that store bought toothpaste is preferred---but they had fun and learned lots:)


Did you know that the first toothbrushes were made from pig hairs?---thank goodness nylon came along!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter 2012

The eggs were colored on Saturday.






I nearly missed the baskets- by the time I got to Dalaina, it was dumped!


We attempted some pictures before church, but the sun....


was in our eyes!



Later, we had some friends over for a hunt and some dinner-
ready to go hunt....





...happy with full baskets:)



checking out the loot!


Great day!
