SL- Core E-
Week 31
This week Dd was invited to her friend GG's VBS at Westlake Community Church. So we did our lessons after their VBS. It was not very hard; b/c *I* didn't have to do anything at their VBS! She had a really, really great time at this big church, that really knew how to put on a MAJOR EFFORT VBS. I have to say, even I was totally blown away...It was, by far, the most organized, professional, VBS I've ever seen!

Kitchen:
This week Dd and Dh made CHEESE from SCRATCH! They had a good time doing it too! They made it out of milk and limes. I liked the taste of it; but Dd wasn't very fond of the bland flavor. But, they did it the old fashioned way with cheese cloth and that is always good to do!
Nature:
I had brought in a caterpillar and had been feeding it a variety of leaves since I didn't know which it preferred. It didn't take long for it to curl up and cocoon itself. Well, this week it hatched!!! It was a very beautiful, brown bark looking MOTH! We had never raised a MOTH before!
DVD:
Forgiving Dr. Mengele
This is a movie about the lady we met a few months back when we went to the CANDLES museum in Terra Haute, IN. She is a survivor of Auschwitz Concentration camp. Dr. Mengele was a Nazi doctor, that performed medical tests on twin children during the war b/c he had access to all the twin children brought into the camps. Eva Kor, is the woman we met, who runs the CANDLES museum, who the movie is made about---and the movie is about her forgiving the Nazi's and the monster doctor.
