Spring is Here!

I’m absolutely excited that spring is here. There are lots of flowers around our house, with pink and white flowers throughout our trees. Look at these pretty pictures mommy took. Another reason I love spring is that my birthday is directly in the middle. I’m so excited!

The Pressed Flower Idea

One night while my family and I were listening to Unshackled, (a free radio drama online that tells of people’s conversion to Christ.) I had my dried flowers out thinking about what I could make with so few flowers. I decided to take out some paper and make a picture of a bicycle. It didn’t turn out at all as I expected. Thankfully, I didn’t glue the flowers. I took them off the paper then showered the paper with the dried rose petals. Then a large petal fell to the floor and I reached down to pick it up. As I studied the petal, it reminded me of a heart. A Heart! That’s what I’ll make. I used diluted glue to paste them together on a piece of construction paper. This is how the project turned out. I still plan to make a bookmark.

This has been a fun project!

Getting a new Yellow Van

We have a family of ten and we have a van that has only twelve seats.  When we go on vacation, we have to store all of our luggage on the rack on top of the van. When my dad mentioned to my mom that were outgrowing our van, they started looking for fifteen passenger vans. After a long search, they found someone who restores old vans and makes them like new. Our first van was white, but my parents wanted to try something unique, something that was fun and adventurous. My parents and older sister voted for yellow, and the rest of us voted for any other color that would not stand out. But I learned that even if there are more kids, parents decisions still outweigh the majority vote.  Dad and mom were pretty exited on getting their new yellow van. Here is how she looks.
