We have been studying Indians the last couple weeks. We decided to make False Face Masks like the Iroquois Indians. They are supposed to be a little scary. They were used to heal people when they were sick. Needless to say, Rich doesn't like the masks! Don't know why. Anyway, the kids enjoyed the process.
I also threw in a pic of a cardinal at our feeder. I have enjoyed watching the birds but they sure do eat an awful lot!!
I'm going to sacrifice in the name of education and watch the Inauguration tomorrow! I"m not happy, but you have to take the opportunity to teach your kids about the whole process. It really is interesting when you start reading about it. We are even going to make one of the dishes they will be eating for the Inaugural Luncheon. The only thing that looked remotely easy to make was the Molasses Sweet Potatoes. We found a website that gave the whole menu and the recipes to go with it!
The kids birthday is coming up this weekend. We are partying twice! Once with some family and friends and next week with our group of homeschool friends that party together. Four of the kids have bdays very close so we are having one big party and ice skating and swimming at the Jones Center.

Looks like they had a lot of fun making the masks. I might watch the Inauguration tomorrow myself, because I think it might actually be kind of interesting to learn how it's done!
Audios,

Braden didn't want to study the inauguration or Obama he wanted to study Abe Lincoln instead...ugh but we are doing inauguration stuff.
I finally picked the designs for the cakes for the party! We are excited.
