Another Test - Direct Post

Hello again,

This is a direct post from email to blog.

I wanted to include a photo and see if that works, so here goes...

Yesterday the kids had to choose from the house 3 things they thought would float.

We then tested their predictions...I have to say we had done a float/sink experiment last year or the year before, so this was nothing new.

They each chose their three items, traced them onto a paper they had labled "I think these will float" then color the items in if they did indeed float.

Here is the outcome of those papers:

PS Another note to self...this didn't work either for image uploading.

The Things You Can Do With a Blog!

Each time I use this blog, I learn something new!

It's amazing...I can use my normal email program, and type up a rambling (or not so much) message...hit send, and ta-da! It's here on blogspot! Wow.

Yesterday I learned how to change my background and format my header and all that...today I came back to dig around some more...and found this cool option.

 

I'm going to add in a picture, just so I can see how it really works:

Today was a zero day...the 50th day of school...so we did an art project that I will be adding to our growing "Hundred Day Book".

This project was also connected to Veteran's Day...we did the flag in watercolors, first coloring the stars with white crayon, then washing over them:

My ds4 is improving with leaps and bounds in penmanship...you can see he wrote: Fifty White Stars, with just a bit of help on the S's.

 

In case you were wondering, this is what we did on the 40th day...Candy!

We haven't written anything for this page yet...I am not sure what to write yet...Forty pieces of candy probably...but that sounds boring...do you have a better idea?

 

I'm going to send this off to the blog now, and see how it comes out!

 

Blessings,

PS Note to self, the email version didn't work well...no pictures showed in the blog...will try next one to post automatically.

PPS I decided on 40 Colorful Candies for the title of the candy page.

Oh Boy! I had fun today!

Hi!
I'm sure you've noticed my new look? I found a great blogging background spot today:
The Cutest Blog on the Block! I am so glad I came across it. Not only do they offer some really CUTE blog backgrounds, but they give tips and such too and that helped me to create my own personalized background AND header - which up until this point, I didn't know was even possible!
I hope you like my new look...I know the small family photo is a bit outdated, and I'd forgotten (how could I?) about the wedding photo...however, bear with me, because come Thanksgiving, I'll be taking another family pic and will change that one out!
