Halloween

Posted in Fun and Fluff

We celebrate Halloween! It's a fun day and we observe it as such.  The lessons will revolve around the day and we'll also do a craft or two, carve our pumpkins and then at dusk we will set out to trick-or-treat.  This year M is dressing up as a Ninja, O is a Monarch Butterfly and B is a Bionicle.  And, me, I'm just gonna be a big ole pregnant mama!

Field Trip Day Extraordinaire!

Posted in Fun and Fluff

Yesterday we met a new homeschool group. We drove a little ways away but it was well worth the drive.  Also, the drive was pretty with all the trees turning colors and there was no traffic; it was great!

 

Meeting fellow homeschoolers involves a bit of apprehension for me.  But, this group relaxed me with the first two women I met.  I felt totally at ease and my  children jumped in with the others and took off playing.  That's always such a remarkable sight.  Socialization issues, my booty. 

 

Afterwards we took off for the tour of a local Fire Station.  And, what a tour it was.   It was hands-on, interactive, informational and the kids really learned a lot from the firemen/woman.  This was a perfect field trip for Fire Prevention and Safety Week!
