Seattle childrens marathon

The kids ran a marathon the day after Thanksgiving in Seattle

Jeff and Tyson watching the festivities

The whole gang watching the program and waiting for the race.

We did this with the Boivie's another cool homeschooling family.

Tyelynn, Madyson and Breydon

Breydon was super cold just before the race

The face of Mady after the run

Boy did they have good food after this run!

The kids had to train at home by running 25 miles before the race

and they had to do 13 good deeds and read 13 books.

They enjoyed it so much they cant wait for next year.

Egyptian Museum

We have been working on Ancient Egypt from Sept to Nov

and to end our stop in Egypt we put on a Museum for our Friends

This first Picture is of the Clothing that the Egyptians wore.

We live in the Puget Sound and where we live

there were natives who inhabited the shores.

We were able to attend a UW archeology program

at an actual dig site.

Tyelynn and Breydon both illustrated and wrote their own piece

of fiction depicting what we have been studying.

Madyson worked very hard to depict a diorama of the Pyramids

These our our sarcophagus's

We made Death masks, they turned our great.
We spent a whole six weeks making mummies our

of an orange and a potato. It was amazing how ritualistic

the whole process was.

More Mummies

Papyrus, we wrote on and learned how to make this ancient paper.

Car touche and Hieroglyphics was one of the funnest activities that we did

We each carved our own Sphinx

Breydon built a Temple he was fascinated with the architecture.

Madyson put together this 3D puzzle of a Pharaoh

The kids ran a marathon and showcased it at the museum

Tyelynn worked hard on learning about seeds

She sprouted a bunch and put out this great display.

We enjoy homeschooling it is fun to be able to work together.

Halloween

Shane is my punk rocker for Halloween.

Madyson is my Egyptian Queen

We are finishing up an extensive unit study

on Egypt and she created her own costume.

Tyson is our Bare bum bear.

Breydon is our Egyptian Pharaoh in Training

He loved studying the Egyptians

Last but not least our Egyptian Princess

Tyelynn loved this dressing up thing I thought

I would never get her out of her costume.

Corn maze

We hit the corn maze for some good old fashioned harvest fun
Tyson Just loved trudging around in his Yellow Rain boots
Our crew boy did we have a blast
"Mom I don't want to go"
we had to stamp our paper and find every clue.

We won a free pumpkin if we found them all.

We did!

What a FUN day we had.
