Bree, Cate, and I often sit on the couch for some of our subjects, particularly when we read a book together, when they do their Reading practice, or when we read our Science and History books and watch corresponding videos. It’s a nice, cozy way to learn. Moose likes that part of our day, too, […]

Dress-up and Time For Bed
She makes me smile every day. So often when I check on the girls after they’ve gone to bed, I find them in the same bed. They are the best of friends (most of the time) and it is so sweet to watch. Speaking of sleep, this cuddly pup makes a great nap buddy or […]
Reading Avatar: The Last Airbender
Reading a book together on this chilly day. (Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Search graphic novel) Thankful for our local library and the ability to check out eBooks. Cate is reading to Bree this morning. Her reading abilities are just exploding this year. (Though she still has a lot of problems confusing b and […]
Drawing Birds
Bree and Cate have been taking a weekly class on Outschool that gives instructions on how to draw a different kind of bird each week. It’s been a lot of fun watching them draw and their finished art is so amazing.
Oreo Cake
Adrianna made Bree an Oreo cake for her upcoming birthday. She even made everything (except the oreos themselves) from scratch. We may have to celebrate a day or two early, as we all can’t wait to try it! Doesn’t it look delicious?
Moose and the Guitar
Bree is taking a class on Outschool to practice Language Arts / Grammar. One of the sentence examples that she and her teacher came up with for a recent lesson was “Moose is playing the guitar.” Bree thought that was a fun idea, so she drew a picture for the sentence and proudly showed it […]
Christmas Tree
Put up the Christmas tree this weekend. Greg talked me into getting a real tree this year. I was hesitant. Not only because of the extra work, but also I feel bad that a tree has to be cut down and essentially die for the tradition. But it ended up being an enjoyable time picking […]
Pretty Leaves
The girls enjoyed finding beautiful leaves on our last neighborhood walk.
Halloween
We originally had not planned on trick-or-treating this year, making plans for some fun activities as a family at home. (The “Great Pumpkin†visiting and hiding candy being one of them. In part, to make up for the Easter Bunny’s failure to show up in April due to pandemic mental fatigue.) But when I saw […]
Autumnal Eeyah
I love this picture Bree made so much. From the bird feeder filled with candy corn to the hummingbird feeder filled with apple cider (including cinnamon sticks) and the falling leaves floating in the wind. She even included the pumpkins she and Cate carved (on the chickadee feeder.) And of course her seahorse, Eeyah, is […]
