Elective Day...

Once a week during the school year we get together with a group of home-schoolers for the purpose of giving the kids physical education and enrichment activities.  It's a bit like a co-op.  Each of us volunteering our abilities where needed. 

Recently on enrichment day there were a variety of activities.  I always run the chess class but not many kids signed up this time.  The draw of archery and making a hovercraft was more exciting for the boys. 
 The hovercraft was pretty awesome.

There was a wood working station.  They made a book shelf out of pallet pieces. Nailing, sanding and staining them.
And cookie decorating is always a popular class. 

Our next activity will be Gingerbread House decorating.

Happy Thanksgiving 2014


We traveled to Mt. Vernon for Thanksgiving and spent the night at Mom and Wayne's home.  It was a wonderful meal at a lovely table with great people.  

We brought the pack -n- play and Blossom was able to take a nap and sleep pretty well during the night.  Because we all know, rested babies are happy babies.

Organizing Help . . .

 Here's my little cupboard organizing helper.
 She doesn't yet crawl over to the cupboard and open it by herself but she loves it when I sit her there.
 She has a scoot that moves her around and she's happy with that.
 For the moment, at 11 months old, this is one of Blossom's favorite activities. 
And I'm happy with that.
