Mother's Day and Share Fair

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms in our lives. We love you!

We celebrated Mother's Day by going down to Stanley Park. We played at the park and had lunch at the Teahouse.

Our girls are so helpful with their baby brothers. They are getting so good at it that they can multitask while helping. Here's Juliette doing her coloring sheet while holding Silas.

Peter loved it at the Teahouse. He played with his truck, and observed the bikes, boats, and dogs going by outside. The pre-meal bread is always a hit with Peter as well :)

Today we had Share Fair at Community Class. This is a day for the kids to share with our community about what they have been learning about at home. Ella chose to do her project on Anne of Green Gables - her favorite books. She made a poster board about the books and served raspberry cordial.

"Ella's raspberry cordial. Everyone welcome."

And Juliette did her project on butterflies. We are currently studying butterflies at home. We have 6 caterpillars that we are observing. It is amazing how much they have grown in the past week. 

Juliette brought our caterpillars in and made a poster board with all kinds of interesting butterfly facts.

We are excited to have some butterflies in the next few weeks!

Peter enjoyed seeing all of the Share Fair projects - especially the ducklings!

We visited Fort Langley on a hot day and enjoyed some ice cream.

Ella stays up a little later than her siblings. During this time Spencer and Ella read together. They are currently reading through the Chronicles of Narnia series. I love to overhear their conversations as I do the dishes. These books bring up some great topics of conversation. It is also very precious to hear the connections that Ella makes between these books and what we read in the Bible.

And below are some random pictures of our past week:
