Hairscapades!

We finally took the plunge and relaxed it - a big thank you to my friend Charnae for the hours of help she gave me with this! Her are some pics - all that's left is a hair cut! It is so much easier to take care of now and curls without getting too tangled, no more screaming on hair day!

She looks tired doesn't she - it took over two hours from start to finish!

After it was straightened!

Smiles once we were all done.

Lola wanted her hair straitened the next day to match!

Posing, supermodel style!

Our Chocolate Unit!

We had such a great time with our unit on Chocolate! It was another from Homeschool Share... Here are some of the yummy highlights!

I surprised the kids with a chocolate breakfast - chocolate bread straight from the bread machine along with chocolate milk! What a great start to the day!

Chocolate math!

Making Chocolate pudding.

Eating the most delicious chocolate pudding I have ever tasted!

Making chocolate from scratch -
lots of stirring involved and it certainly helped us exercise our patience!

My new favorite thing to bake!

Bagels!!

This recipe is so easy and yummy! Go on try it - you'll never buy another supermarket bagel again!

Look who's talking now...

Just had to capture a little of Kemi's chattering! She has certainly found her voice now!

Just for Grandma and Gramps!

Some more pics for you! Can't wait to see you next week!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

More basement photos!

We (well mainly Kunle!) spent this weekend making the basement even nicer! Here are some more pictures - we now have a playroom, a 'den', a pool table and Ping Pong! We have also doubled our square footage in a weekend - the house had never felt so large!

The kids enjoying their 'den'!

Our game room!

Pool anyone?

The playroom.

The train set is all fixed up as well!
