Oct. 3, 2008 - Misc. Rambling
It's a beautiful fall day! As I sit here at the computer by the window, I am admiring the way the sun looks more golden, streaming through the changing leaves, and how the shadows and light are different than in the summer. Fall is definately my favorite season.
It has been a lazy day of practicing Spanish, and painting tiny canvases. Davis is quite bored with his Art Life Pac, so I decided to make things more interesting by giving him small canvases so that he can create pieces of art rather than just doing excersizes in a workbook. So, today he is working on "Color Vibrations", which occurs when two complimentary colors are placed right next to each other. They create an optical illusion that makes them appear to move and become brighter where the edges touch.
Lily is cutting shapes from compressed sponge squares, and then she is going to dampen them so that they expand, and then she will create her own works of art! Caroline is upstairs packing for Fall Camp.
We have piano lessons today and then the two big kids are off for the weekend camping trip. That will leave just Lil and me at home this weekend. I'm thinking about taking her to Dollywoood if she is feeling better. She woke up this morning with a fever and headache. 
In other news, I have abandoned my attempt to learn how to use Homeschool Tracker. I simply do not have the time or patience to figure it all out! I started using Engrade instead. I think it will be perfect for me. Easy, straightforward and free! Too bad I already paid the $50.00 for the other! URG!
