A big dead tree at the corner of our house has been making us a little nervous ever since we moved here (2 years ago in February!). We finally decided the time and the price were right to get it down. Getting the wood all chopped and chipped is another task added on Daddy's ever growing "to do" list.
Soccer season has begun again. The littles play on the playground while brother M or sister A have practice.
Miss L got her nails done at Big sister A's "Spa" (and so did the boys!).
It has been a cold couple of weeks. Brother M is wearing a sweatshirt and fleece pants because it is only about 45 degrees.
Brother S and Miss L are NOT dressed appropriately for the weather. I was freezing with my winter coat and hat on.
We do the "Mystery Science" labs as part of our science curriculum. The one they wanted to do this week, not surprisingly considering the National Science Fest last week, was about space. This particular lesson is called "Wandering Stars" (aka - planets).
We drew the spread of the planets to scale, but not the planets themselves.
We played a game where they learn the order of the planets by racing to whichever one I call out.
The kids have been doing a lot of wildcraft/pioneer type activities. They are sharpening their own arrowheads, whittling sticks, and building little "homes" in the wood sheds -- like their own log cabins.
I took and texted this picture of what big sister A was doing with my Cutco knife to spur hubby on to get them some real pocket knives (and a lesson on knife safety).
What hubby did with the boys on conference Sunday:
