Photo Friday: Warm
Photo taken on 17 Jul 2010. Warm isn’t hot. Right now, we are still HOT. The word “warm” makes me think of bundling up against chilly weather, and I’m lacking photos of that nature at the moment! Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly
handwork class
As we approach June, the girls are finishing up all their classes for this academic year. Today marked the end of a year of handwork class. While we are not Waldorf inspired homeschoolers, we were delighted to find a homeschool handwork class being offered right in our little hamlet! Both girls have worked through a

We headed to Hobby Lobby for pipe cleaners, tissue paper, felt and more, and ended up making lots and lots of crafts.

Nellie Mae Pollock
As usual, we went to Toddler Tuesday at the art museum today. The girls spent quite a while looking at the art of Nellie Mae Rowe before heading down to do the art project. Chloe did a great job tracing her hands (like in Rowe’s piece called Peace). Camille decorated her painting then started to
