This is my turtle. Daddy henna’d him. I think he did it last Sunday. It is still on and looking good. He touched up my hand and my ankle and toe from before. I really like henna!
Thank you Daddy!
Audrey and Indian Cooking
We are learning about India. The food is very similar to food from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
We made Samoosas, chicken tikka (Momma said it is supposed to be without bones, but we only had a whole chicken and did not want to debone it 🙂 ) and Naan.
It was easy. If you want to make Naan, here is the recipe. Here is the recipe for the Samoosas. We did not copy what the recipe said, we used venison instead of hamburger. Thank you Uncle Joe for the venison. It tasted good. We also made our own dough. You can use chicken tikka spices, but Momma does not have the recipe we used on her recipe book yet.
And we did henna. They use henna for weddings, but we did ours for fun! It is pretty. It was cold at first. It was like you were putting mud on! Then it dried and then it would peel off. I want to do it again!
Merry Christmas!
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2: 10-12 NASB
Happy Birthday Jesus!
My Sister’s Hat
Sunday, Andrea had a twin dress with Megan. I borrowed her hat and was having fun playing with it 😉
Scandinavian Crafts
W
e are learning about Scandinavia. People who live there are Scandinavians. We are learning how to do Scandinavian crafts. We made Swedish heart weaving baskets. They were hard until you got the picture.
Momma made a Finnish Paper Star. The picture did not turn out, but the star is hanging like it is hanging on the Christmas tree.
We made a gingerbread house–but that was not really Scandivanianish. Gingerbread houses are more from Germany.
Can you give me ideas for crafts from other countries?
Audrey and Snowman
Last year I had a picture by this snowman and the year before that and the year before that. I think the next year too.
I really like him!
First Snowman of the Year
This is my first snowman this year. I got all the snow by shoveling the porch. It wasn’t packing snow, so I put it in a bucket and smushed it down very hard. Then I found three acorn tops and a frisbee. I found a bucket and I put it under my snowman because my snowman was so small.
Toys
Megan was so cute, I thought she could be a stuffed animal. So I put her with some stuffed animals. Doesn’t she look soooo cute? Doesn’t she look like a cute little stuffed animal?
Turkey Time
Today was Nature Nuts and we learned about Turkeys! Before Vincent came in, we made turkey hats. Here are pictures of mine and Adrian’s. We made turkey apples! (Adrian made a spider instead).
Vincent is a tame turkey. I think he is 6 years old. He is a boy, Miss Carol has some girl turkeys too. I got to feed him!
Something to do when you are the oldest in your class, I got to hold Vincent!
Adrian says to say “The End”, so we can read a book!
