kids

Seo went through the grocery store today skipping, pretending he was riding a horse saying "Yee-Haw Cowboy!" Over and over again.

Lili's recent illustrations

Lil has been creating some amazing illustrations this past week. For a long time she was much more interested in making abstract works of art, but recently she has been into drawing people (and lots of hearts). 

This is her (on the left) petting our cat Pippy. Mom (me) is watching. 

 this is the back of that drawing:

 This is Seo eating some raisins next to a big bowl of raisins:

 And this is my favorite. Her cousin Nimuae just got braces and this is a portrait of Nim with her new blue braces:

Some Holiday photos

Some holiday photos from our time at the Carmonas house. It already feels so long ago! Miss you all!

Finally uploaded some of the photos on the phone and there are so many cute photos... like this one. a candid shot from our road trip in October. 

Gramps!

 Two cuddly kids right out of the bath and into their Gramp's arms. I was away at a show most of his visit~ but I could tell when I returned that everyone had been having a wonderful time.  

Monday Class: "Today, our activities focused on the NativeAmericans. We gathered and ate popcorn, heard the story of The First Moccasins, played The Plum Stone Game, and made pinch pots."

Wednesday class: "Today we spent the day with the Native Americans by sharing Johnny cakes for snack, playing several games (Pa-tol Stick Game, Which Hand, and The Moccasin Game), and illustrating the story of Kayas and the Loon."

Lili & Kestrel at farm school

Monday 11/5: "Today was full of candles and fire! We heard the story of St. Martin, made observations of candles and their flames, and made earth candles. In the picture, we were getting ready to dig the holes we would use for making our candles.
I hope you have a great week and I look forward to seeing your kiddos next week!" ~ Kimberly
