We are a homeschooling family in NE Louisiana where the crawfish are abundant and the culture is NEVER lacking. The husband and I are raising 3 men together. Our days are full of blessings!

~Baby School - Puppies Theme~
Noah has enjoyed this more than anything we have ever done.
We started off with bathing a real pup. Since we have four of those I picked the easiest one to bathe.
We then made puppy cookies for our pups.
If you would like to make them:
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
1/2 cups water (add more if needed)
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup oats
Blend all of the wet ingredients.
Whisk the dry ingredients.
Mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture to form a ball of dough.
Roll out and shape.
Place on non-stick lightly greased cookie tray.
Cooking time in my oven was 10-12 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
I set up a puppy vet and groomers salon for him on his table.
He wasn't happy about the puppy being sick.
He made him all better and covered the booboo with a bandaid and gave him some food.
Next up he groomed a puppy. He liked it much better than the real thing. He didn't like the soap and mess when we bathed Piper. He pretended to squirt the soap on, massaged the fur, and towel dried her.
I even made up some little sticky hairbows for him to tape into her hair. It was so fun!
He worked on his puppy color pages for a while.
Noah finished his work with some snuggle time on the couch with Piper. She is our most snuggly dog, too.
He feeds his pups a treat he made each day and he has been much more loving to them or aware of them since we started this together. It was a blast and it was like playing pretend with my best friend Heather that I grew up with. We did things like this all the time. :)

I made Bleu-Raffe for my Boy Bleu
I made this sweet guy for my Noey Bleu. Isn't he amazing?
Boy Bleu drags him around everyday. I so hope he is passed down to his own sweet baby boy.

No Where to Go?
My parents were supposed to come in to visit Memorial Day weekend. Daddy became ill with the shingles and so they stayed home. It was up to us to find things to do. The weather was beautiful and funds were low. We turned our backyard into a campground.
Noey enjoyed making the "house in the outside".
My big boys were old pros at making a tent this time. Noey was just a baby the first time.
We swam, made a campfire, and made smores.
Only the big boys slept outside. I don't do HOT when I sleep.
Matthew went out there to check on them before we fell asleep. There was a Monopoly game started and Ben10 on the laptop. He tucked them in with their pups and they slept there until the birds woke them.

Lafayette Business Trip with Daddy
We went for the weekend with Matthew, the daddy person, to play in Lafayette while he had a class and test for work. I took the boys to the Lafayette Natural History Museum while we were waiting for Daddy that first day.
Noey was thrilled to find some dino related exhibits.
He loves anything open to him for touching and they had real fossils to touch and feel.
Most things were behind glass...he didn't approve.
The smaller boys totally loved this one exhibit. You would spin the ball and watch some pretty swirls. Eli says it was used to explain how turbulents move inside of a spherical area, or something like that. I will take his word for it. I was exhausted and allowed Eli and Remy to explain it all to Noey and themselves.
This one was really neat. You would suck the air out of the dome and the planes would stop flying.
On this one you used a simulated video game to dock a space ship.
My sweet middle son.
They had a cute little free play area set up for the younger children. Noey went to work cooking.
The last exhibit we played with was the giant peg board. I always wanted one of those smaller ones when I was little. I think I need to put this on a Christmas list.
This was on the last and second sleep at the hotel room. He was going to sleep so he could swim in the morning.
We did receive news that our daddy passed his test!
