Welcoming the Helping Hands

October 14-16

Seriously I don’t think I can plug Art for Kids site hard enough. It is our go to place for drawing anything and everything… and right now they are well centered in the Halloween spirit.101_4789

With Daddy’s help Monday also centered on a new science project. This time making our own frost using a metal bowl, ice and salt.101_4792

We also made Echo her very own Princess hat!101_4793

On Tuesday the twins and Nana had a baking/science session making pumpkin muffin/cupcakes using a recipe she found online with canned pumpkins and cake mix. We are loving the time together with everyone learning more about the world around us!101_4796

With some time on our hands and lots of hands to help the twins were also able to get some rather spiffy haircuts! Short short short.101_4799

Mid week was another day of happy learning with Ken having the time to read with the kids! These special moments have been so rare lately and now, I am pleased to say… Daddy involvement has made a return appearance. It is so wonderful to have another hand involved in our schooling. It gets lonely being a solo teacher at times.101_4801

We took over the basement this time and sprawled out everywhere…101_4802

That included our bedroom for reading time. I love how they go off ON THEIR OWN and share this joy with the younger ones.101_4803

Zander and Gavin even helped Nana with dinner. HAMBURGERS made by my brilliant boys.101_4804
