I have gotten behind on participating in the HSBA Homeschool Memoires meme. I have loved each theme but stuff just always seems to come up!!

Tonight I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone (I promise -- no "tweet-tweets" were hurt in the making of this blog post) and do a bit of catch up. Enjoy!!

(from top left to right) 

1. The Pear -- This was a bronze sculpture that I fell in love with at The Castle in New York.

2. Decorating -- We are getting our house put together. We moved from Arizona to North Carolina in May.

3. My Honey -- We were out looking for beaches and took the ferry. This is a reflection of Mike in the driver side mirror. He was standing with the boys and watching the birds fly over the water.

4. The Statue of Liberty -- The ferry to the Island was closed when Victoria and I arrived but we were able to take pictures from both Liberty Park on the Jersey side and Manhatten on the New York side.

5. Garden Statue -- I guess I just like statues and scultpures :-) This fair lady is in the gardens at Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina.

6. My Boys -- We did a lot of swimming this summer trying to decide if we could afford to be on the Carteret Currents team down in Morehead City. We had to forego the team for now because of the expense but are saving, and practicing, to give it a go after the first of the year.

7. Taco Bell Volcano Taco -- Our children LOVE hot and spicy food. They didn't believe it was really hot. I'm still not sure what they believe about it except they had a contest to see who could down it first so I'll probably never learn the truth... ya know, since they are boys and all!

8. My Honey and Me -- Our daughter snapped this photo of us at Tryon. Isn't it sweet?

9. The 57 Chevy -- We saw this car at a Military Appreciation Day. It started raining but Mike was willing to get soaked to get the perfect shot!

10. Mo aka 7169 -- Mo is the squirrel we rescued after Hurricane Hanna blew her out of a tree. We got her warm and fed her and kept her protected for a day until we found out about our local animal rescue, The WildARC.

11. Victoria, my girl -- Victoria and I went to New York this summer on an all expense paid trip she won because of her paper last year on Habeas Corpus. She made me a proud mama by interacting maturely and intellectually with peers much older than her!!

 Hmmm... what is our favorite snacks??? Well, this one is kinda easy for us because we do like to eat...LOL.. I think I'll just give ya our top 10.

1. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

2. BLT on wheat with baby spinach

3. Snap Peas and Baby Carrots with Ranch

4. White Cheddar Popcorn

5. Chicken Tortilla Soup

6. Monkey Bread

7. Baked Potatoes (soak 'em in olive oil, put in a paper bag, sprinkle with salt and microwave.. yummy!!)

8. Apple slices with Peanut Butter

9. Cheese (any kind of cheese... sticks... cubes.. slices... I mean ANY kind of cheese!!)

10. Chicken Wraps (a good piece of chicken, some baby spinach, veggie cream cheese, all wrapped up in a nice soft wheat wrap... some more YUM!!)

Thanks for catching up with me this week.... I hope you enjoyed my post :-)

Have a blessed weekend!

In Christ,
