Where's Egypt?

Friday- the kids made bean bags in co-op to go along with the letter B.

Today I made a tic-tac-toe game on the floor and we played with the bean bags. We didn't have quite enough so we had to use some stuffed animals.

I made them stand behind a line and try to throw it to the right box, just to make it more challenging.

The other day I started to read a story to the kids and I said, "This story takes place in Egypt. Let me show you where Egypt is on the globe."

Austin said, "Let me show you where it is, Let me show you." I said OK well because 1. I didn't really know where it was and I would have to find it myself and 2. because it's good to get the kids involved. So Aussie whipped that globe around in no time and said, "It's right here next to Libya."

Well OK then... How many of you knew that Egypt was next to Libya? (I sure didn't) Also- How many of you knew that Egypt was in Africa? I didn't know that either.

This is definitely Aussie's thing. He doesn't like any other school, but he sure likes Geography. I really don't know how he knew where Egypt or Libya was, but I do know that he looks at globes and maps and flags quite a bit.

I on the otherhand learn something new everyday. :) That's the good thing about being a homeschooling Mom!

Oh I bet I have some layouts I haven't shown you.

This was for a challenge of how to alter your photos in 3 different ways. It's not really my style but it was fun and I like how it turned out.

This was a color combo challenge:

This was a challenge to use negative space:

This started out to be a challenge and I ended up using too much stuff so it wouldn't qualify for that certain game.

And this one was the color combos and a shopping challenge. The way the shopping challenge works is there is a list of 10 things and you can "so call" purchase 3 items and use them. So I picked ribbon, a dictionary page and stickles. I didn't have a small dictionary, so I just used the internet to print off the definition of zip.

It's funny how things come and go in scrapbooking. It's just like clothing. This layout reminds of what I did when I was first starting to scrapbook oh so many years ago.
