Mud Walk

  

Yesterday was rain, all day. Today we walked the fields and talked about the footprints we found. Ellie made some of her own. We also picked up some things for her nature table. A beautiful day!

While Ellie and Sadie took a break I gathered everything me needed to set up her autumn nature table. Beeswaxed fall leaves from last year and a beeswax pumpkin I created.  Acorns, rocks, grasses, and feathers we have collected both this year and last. Hopefully soon I can find her autumn gnome to set out. 

Unpacking

Not much exciting to report this week. We have taken a break from daily routine to unpack the last fifteen boxes of mine and ten of hers. Just wow! Her room is becoming organized and I realize I have an even larger collection of arts, crafts, and curriculum than I remembered. 

Ellie has spent time helping me sort objects, coloring, "writing", and imagination play. We've taken long nature walks, fished, and played in the dirt and rocks on the breaks from unpacking. 

On a break today I came across a comforting article about plans changing in homeschooling as you adjust to you individual child's needs and wants.

Last Thursday and Friday

A catch up to photos from Halloween 

And to a very busy Friday! 

On our way home from Murray, Ellie wrote out what she wants to do for her birthday party- a costume party, cake, balloons. That's the paper you see rolled up in the seat. When I unstrapped her she rolled over this way and continues to snore.
