A busy week

 

We have had a busy week and we have a busy month coming up.  The weather has finally turned cooler and LittleBit can get outside to play.  As a heart baby the heat is hard on him, which is one of the reason we homeschool through the summer.   Fall is our season, we love the cooler weather. 

 

For October we have bug club, hayrides, Taekwondo, concerts, trip to see the Nina, planetarium visit, campfire circle, campout weekend, etc. A busy month ahead sounds like lots of fun, learning and hopefully lots of pictures. 

I think we have finally found someone for guitar lessons and while I am trying to get that scheduled, LittleBit is back to wanting to learn the piano, stinker.  At this rate I might wait until the first of the year. 

 

Here are a few pictures from some of the things we did this past week.

We have TKD, 2 to 3 days a week plus tumbling one of those days.

He is all about Halloween and decorating this year, I am a fall decorator, I don’t do scary.  Here is a quick little cute craft that is made with clay pots, chalkboard paint and chalk. For the instructions click here.

A nature study to learn about leaves and trees. Never let it be said my child is an unsocialized homeschooler, LOL. The photo with the group of people, they built a tree and LittleBit was the heart of the tree. WARNING MOM BRAG HERE: I have to thank Apologia for his knowledge in botany.  They asked what trees gave us, answers wood, shade, food, and oxygen, did you know the veins in the leaves are how the tree gets water and nutrients.  I let you guess which answer was my cutest, smartest, kid’s in the whole world.  END OF BRAG
