Our Shrovetide and other blessings...

Wee Baby Girl greets you with her chicken treasures. Checking the chickens is her favorite chore and she always closes her eyes when she smiles. We call it her "best smile"

And we used some of those eggs to make homemade, baked, whole wheat donuts!

They all look so good, which shall I have first?

And no food discussion would be complete without speaking of gardening!

We had the blessing of putting in an 800 sq ft garden this year!

(the land is ours the house seen is a neighbor)

Our peas are in! Corn is up next :)

Gardening is a great project to add to our home school experience but our book and paper work is coming along nicely too. Here's a peek at our home school area...

Beautiful boy works on some word searches.

And while the young ones are hard at their work, Papa was hard at his, earning a recent promotion!

And speaking of celebrations we had a lovely Shrovetide/Mardis Gras this year with a big group of home school friends over to our house for a pancake feast!

Choosing a topping is hard! :)

The pancakes were so yummy I bet even the "Little Lassie" in my tummy enjoyed them!

Hope you and yours are safe, well, and enjoying the coming spring time!!
