May 29-30

It is amazing how quick the week feels when you drop the Monday as a regular day.

Although, over the weekend I did receive my autographed copies of Tonya Kappes’ series!!! I won them on her site on Facebook!

Wednesday we stopped and smelled the flowers… On Thursday we wandered the neighbourhood and looked for dropped blossoms or wildflowers for pressing. We are going the simple route and following Life Studies Online’s instructions. However, we had to substitute newspaper with wax paper as we had recycled ALL of ours! You can find the simple step by steps HERE. We will check back in probably 4 days.

With Wednesday we rubbed leaves and checked through our leaf book to see if we could identify any of them. Two kinds were recognized and we had a blast with our crayons in our nature books!

I have been having the littles do their workbook work at the table while I make lunch…

Of course with the flower pressing mentioned above was an abbreviated walk for the kids and I to collect them.

Trinity had a workbook completion… She and Emanuel are trying to get as much done this summer as possible so that they can graduate onto the harder books!

Art for Kids was timely this week… T-REX!!!!

We get a lot of rain around here… great for the plants, not so much for our walking plans. So the wandering the neighbourhood and ending up in our own yard for an hour is a great way to learn about nature AND burn off that necessary energy!

Oh and ending the evening out in the backyard with Daddy is a welcome addition to our routine!
