Madelyn Stuff

Madelyn is taking a tap dance class this fall for the first time, spurred on by the fact that we found tap shoes on clearance at Walmart last summer. No, really it was her idea. :-) Last weekend she got to perform with her class at an outdoor festival.

*******
Our monthly homeschool group had a book report day last week. Madelyn came up with this visual for it herself, recreating the cover of the American Girl Addy book she read out of colored modeling clay.

A poem she wrote for fun last week~


Animal Favorites

Lions, tigers and zebras, too
You can find them at the zoo
Hamsters, cats and dogs, of course
And please do not forget the horse
There is no time for any more
So please go out and shut the door.

    Hey, I just saw the other day that camo hunting outfits are now marked down at Walmart. I'm excited to her how she does buck hunting season. -Uncle Shann
