letter H’s, the girls also worked on making the letter H using Handwriting Without Tears Hands-On Materials and Kimberlee’s Grey Block Paper.
In case you are wondering what is decorating our table, Twinkle Toes asked her daddy if he could help her make an “Autumn Tree“ with a branch she found outside!

We also listened to parts of In This Sign You Shall Conquer and read about St. Helen in Saints: Lives and Illuminations
Book Twinkle Toes received for her birthday, and the girls were very Happy to be Helpful with all the Housework!
We made a few crafts this week based on Handprints, Honeybees, and Houses!
Supplies:
Poster paint in yellow, black and white
Print a single yellow handprint with fingers together in the middle of the paper and leave to dry. Use the side of the hand to print black lines down the handprint for the bee’s stripes. Add an eye with the tip of finger. Again using the side of the hand, add a white line to the bottom of the bee for its sting. Make the wings by using white paint on the side of the hand and moving the hand in a fan shape across the paper with fingers pointing to the bee’s back.
I started the week deciding that we would stick to Healthy Foods like Hummus and Herbs. We did make some delicious Hummus for our Friday dinner, which was Mediterranean Veggie Pitas.
They were definitely Healthy, and absolutely Heavenly!
However, the girls begged me to let them make Honeybee Cookies over the weekend. After all their Help and Housework, I couldn’t turn them down…
Oh, my goodness!!! That is the exact same O Antiphon house that we made! 😀 I started it after Christmas last year and have the blocks half way done. I painted them in shades of purple, but I like your idea of using gold instead. I get so excited over the little things, lol. What are you planing to do for the symbols? I was going to print out some I found on the web and having the kids color them and then cut them out and paste them to the blocks.
I think I'll wait to see how you do it. I have a feeling you'll have the better idea. 😉
Thanks so much for sharing your "H" week with us.
God bless!
Oh wow. I had a question how did you make your own document from The Alphabet of Saints book? Amazing job!!!
Kelly ~ I downloaded pictures from online too, but I was actually just considering drawing them on using paint pens, but still not positive. I plan to include the symbol on one side, as well as the name and date on the opposite two sides (one on each). I am a little nervous about this part, but then I can always paint over if it doesn't turn out, right!?!
Kittim ~ I used an online Handwriting generator. I think I may have linked to it in the past, but I am not sure. Here is the link. Another site I like using for creating Handwriting sheets is Writing Wizard. (I like that you can save them at this site for sharing!) I am still trying to find a site where I can create Handwriting Without Tears Practice sheets.
Aren't you just loving the mixer?!? I love mine. I'm looking forward to seeing the O Antiphon house finished. Your posts are always so inspiring!
So inspiring all that you're doing with your sweeties! Thanks for sharing it all :))
How about "H" for Honorable Homemaker. You sure put the Heart in your Home!
Also, Rascal is a really talented artists. Wow. High five!

Cherise ~ Rascal says "Thank you!" (with a big smile on his face!)

Love the O Antiphon House. I will have to copy yet another idea!
