We have a catchy little song called "Hello to All the Children of the World" in our Exploring Countries and Cultures curriculum-- which is now stuck pretty much 24/7 in my brain as the girls like to play it over and over and over!! One of our activities this week was to make paper dolls which were decorated as children from around the world and the results of our endeavors are featured above. Before anyone gets really impressed with our design skills, I will confess that the clothing for the dolls was found on a fabulous little website (http://www.makingfriends.com/) that we could print and color!! Woohoo! I'm all about ways to make stuff easier on the momma!
Also-- the 'passports' arrived this week! The girls are looking forward to getting to 'use' them next week when we travel all the way to............ The United States!!! Okay, so they aren't really all that thrilled about 'going nowhere' as they told me today.... I think Mexico in two weeks will be a bit more exciting, though!
We had a great week in school learning all about maps and all the fun things that you can find out by reading them-- I think I even learned a thing or two! That is something that I just love about home schooling-- I'm able to pick up new information (or remind myself of stuff that I learned LONG AGO!) as we go along.
We are looking forward to the weekend-- Emma has her second soccer practice tomorrow (I'll try to remember the camera so I can blog about it!) and then we are getting ready for the arrival of Aunt Missy and Chloe on Sunday! We are so excited about their upcoming visit!
Have a great weekend!

I love your people! Thanks for the tip by the way....we've been working on ours a little bit at a time all weekend. Glad your second week of school went well!
I forgot to say that your Passports looks great! Did you use the ones you got from RR?
