Quick and Easy Ten Commandment Tablets

Mark and Grace are learning about Moses and the Ten Commandments during religion time, so I decided that we needed a visual to hang on one of our "learning walls". (Our "learning wall" has now become just about every wall in the house-therefore, "walls")
Mark posed nicely to show the foam core board that Daddy cut out the night before in the shape of our tablets. He used an exacto-knife to do this. Anything else would have squished the board.
He then mixed the perfect stone gray color with black and white tempra paint.

Sponging on the paint gave it a nice stone texture.
The kids then helped type the Ten Commandments on Microsoft Word. We enlarged it until it seemed to be the perfect fit.
The finished product, along with two of the books we are using for this unit. The main text we are using in Seton's Third Grade religion.

They also worked as a perfect All-Saint's Day costume accompaniment.

If Snow White brings home this much candy, and a nerd brings home this much candy, and then you add the Hulk's candy, a demon's candy, and the snazzy dressed ladies candy, you end up with way toooooo much candy!

"Sing with All the Saints in Glory"

The Sodality girls at our church hosted their annual All-Saints costume party last night.
We had a little angel attend the party,
along with Moses, who visited with Grandpa before heading out.

Number 5 ....

and a coat for baby Kimberly.Laura is a very groovy hippie. I think an electric blue turtleneck will work with this outfit.
I have almost finished Kim's coat. I just need to add the buttonholes and buttons.

Number Four--Done

Costume #4 is now finished. It is an army uniform for Mark.
He certainly looks very handsome in a uniform.
I'm not sure, but I think the stars I put on make him a general.
His barn boots do give a nice finishing touch to this army look.
I used Simplicity pattern # 3997

My beautiful Gracie is now also a beautiful princess, Snow White to be exact.I used McCall's pattern #M5494 for this costume.

New Scrubs!!

I finished making Grace and Luke each a pair of scrubs today for their never ending doctor play.

I used Butterick Pattern # 5565.
They were quite easy.

Mark told me that he didn't want a pair, but he does like the hat, maybe if I make him a pair in camouflage material....
