Some of our Adventures in Fort Worth

We have been trying to keep busy and make the best of our time while we are here in Fort Worth. We found this cute little museum that talked about the history of Fort Worth. It was really tiny and no body was there, not even any staff. After that we went to the Sid Richardson Art Museum that was across the street. The lady at the front desk was so accomodating and sweet!! She had a scavenger hunt prepared for children that visited the museum. The scavenger hunt consisted of a sheet with a small portion of the different paintings throughout the museum. At the end they all got sticker books. The girls have been asking to go there again since. I don't even think they appreciated the art--they just want another sticker book!
 We also visited the Botanical Garden of Fort Worth. We visited a little late in the season to see all the flowering plants, but there was still a lot of beauty to admire. The girls enjoyed looking for bugs. Kelsey even found a catepiller and a stick bug.
Wouldn't this make a great family pic!
In case you have been wondering what we have been doing for school for Kelsey, well she gets to stay home with me!! We have our off days and even weeks!! Mostly the problems that we have are me! It's a lot of work to plan out our days every day! In the picture above we are having our scripture study. We start with this every morning (at least that is the goal). This day we are learning about the Book of Mormon being the keystone of our faith. We were making arches with playdough. Every where we go our girls will pick out all the keystones they see.
 Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving unit. I can always get my girls motivated to do Mommy School when it involves something crafty.
Making Indian Vests

Our homemade tee-pee cupcakes

We live within walking distance of a Chick-fila and during the month of November you got a free entree if you wore purple on Friday (in honor of TCU). Needless to say, we had Chick-fila every Friday in November. The girls love their chicken nuggets!
 At church Lanaea has a little twin. You seriously can't tell them apart from the back. The other little girl is just 4 months older.

I agree with your cute Mom...amazing! I'm impressed you tackled the "homeschooling" and LOVE the scripture study ideas! :) Also, I've thought this with all your blog posts this morning, but has anyone ever told you that your girls a)have 3 different looks, but mostly b)could pass for baby dolls? Seriously, they are natural beauties, and especially in that "thanksgiving unit" picture with their pilgrim hats...they each look like feminine dolls! I LOVE it! Compliments to the parents!! :)
