Big J Turns 3!

Out littlest guy turned 3! We had a party last weekend for him! It was a very exciting day! Here are some clips from the big day!

He is such a happy boy and a gift from the Lord!

Civil War

We have been studying the Civil War for the past two weeks. The boys have really been enjoying it. Yesterday we spent the afternoon with our Tapestry of Grace homeschool coop learning doing crafts, playing games and eating food from this era. Here are some pictures of what we did!

The station that I manned for our coop time was food. So C2 and L made some hardtack. I didn't expect the kids to like it, but they really did!

We always begin our time together with a story. Here is the whole group all together.

Here is L at a craft station weaving.

C1 making a marzipan decoration. Marzipan was very popular among wealthy Southern families as a decoration on desserts.
