Duck, Duck, Goose! And Nests!


Enjoying the nice weather while we can! Out feeding the ducks and geese and running wild!








The kids love to make nests anyway so it was helpful during our Nest Unit.

Gathering supplies for making a nest.

Sneaking up on a bug.

A little blue bird.

Surfs up, dude. These little cut-outs look like they're surfing when you blow on them across the floor.

Matilda was helping make our bird's nests.

These were rich, chocolatey and peanut buttery.  Next time we'll make smaller nests.


Out on a little nature walk.

Or maybe it was a nature run or a nature skip.

"No matter which educational choice you make; your children will miss out on things other children don’t, and they’ll experience things other children won’t. There’s no shame in this, no need for guilt, no need for justification. Contentment and confidence in your decision doesn’t come by comparing, but from believing that this is what God has called you to do."

From Growing Home.

Apples!

A week full of apples! Apple sauce, apple pie, apple crafts...apples!

Fun with marbles; apples are a similar shape to marbles...so close enough.

Graphing with apples.


Tree climbing!


Apple crafts.





Finished apple tree.


This is what Abe likes to do...

...and this...

Doesn't this just say, "fall?!"

Mmmmm! Full of love.

Birthday Party!

Birthday party bash was a success thanks to family and friends!

We got a new top for Abe since our last one broke; he missed it.


The kids were in great company and also got some neat gifts! 








My lemon blueberry cake was delicious! We also had a chocolate tuxedo cake because one needs a touch of chocolate. Needs, that's right, I said needs.





Not bad, eh?
