F is for First State ~

The other day Buck asked what the first state was.  Of course I knew the answer...  as I quickly Googled it - Delaware!  This reminded me of the geography study I've been wanting to do with the kids for a while using the Sleeping Bear Press series of Discover America State by State books!  I had wanted to buy these notebooking pages to go along with it, but never got around to it.  Then I came across these **FREE** Notebooking pages on Pinterest. 

So, I checked out F is for First State from the library and this morning after we were home from Mass we all gathered around the kitchen table and enjoyed it together.  As I read aloud they filled in info they heard like it's nickname is The Diamond State.  I printed off a state map and flag from Enchanted Learning and we glued them as seen below.

Then they colored in the flag to match.

Once they were finished we added the date to their time lines ~

and filed them in the back of their Book of Centuries.

Eggplant Parmesan ~ another of Gina's recipes. I've got this ready to pop into the oven. If it's anything like her other recipes I've tried, it will be Yummy!

I bought myself a little treat at the Weight Watchers meeting this morning. I've lost 5 pounds :) so I got myself this new water bottle. My focus this week is to drink more water -

I think this will help :)

I'm creating ~ A new and improved recipe binder. Only smart, delicious recipes allowed!

I'm hearing ~ The Rookie. Buck asked me to pick this up for him from the library -AGAIN- . I've got a little guy who is ready for the season to start!
