Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings, big, and small!

We are settling into our new life in North Carolina.  The move went well, the girls have made new friends, and our little pumpkin is just perfect.  We have a lot of fun activities planned during the next few weeks that I will post about soon.

We're Moving...

I just wanted to keep you all posted...we are moving to North Carolina.  I would love to know how many of Sippy Cup's followers live there, please message me if you do.  We have a house full of boxes, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel.  It will be a good move and for a good reason, so please join us on our next adventure. 

Columbus Boats

We made these cute boats to go along with our Classical Conversations history sentence and they turned out great. 

History Sentence:
In 1492, Columbus sailed on the first of four trips to the Caribbean on three Spanish ships, called the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria.

I think they will make cute name cards for our Thanksgiving table.  We followed these directions, but used a chopstick to hold the sails up.

Apple Pie Playdough

Apple pie playdough with my favorite recipe here.
Perfect Playdough
1 c. flour
1/2 cup salt
1 T. cooking oil
1 T. cream of tartar
1 c. water
Food coloring of your choice
Add-ins of your choice (i.e. spices, extracts, glitter, etc.)

Stir ingredients together into a saucepan. Over medium heat cook the dough until it pulls away from the pan. Lay onto a cutting board and knead well, it will be hot to touch. Allow to cool and enjoy.
