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, […]

Warm Before a Storm
Enjoying frozen yogurt and a beautiful, warm afternoon at one of our favorite parks before tomorrow’s forecasted arrival of snow. I sure am glad the days are getting longer!
Snow Morning
Snow day (Well, snow morning anyway. They’ll do some schoolwork this afternoon. )
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 […]
Playing at a couple parks
Oh, how we needed this beautiful afternoon outside. It was so restorative. First, we visited a park where the girls played on the playground and ran around the nearby field. Then, we tried to visit a different park but it was too busy with children that were not wearing masks, so we didn’t even get […]
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.

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 […]
Artist of the Month

Annual Visit to the Pumpkin Patch
We made our annual visit to a local pumpkin patch. Adrianna was feeling a little sad about not being with friends this time, as the past couple of years we’ve visited with some of her friends. We chose a smaller pumpkin patch and went on a weekday in the hopes that it wouldn’t be too […]
Sun Day
With the autumn leaves changing colors in the mountains and the number of nice, warm days coming soon to a close, I decided the girls and I should take a “sun” day off of school to take advantage of a nice weekday. We drove up to Guanella Pass, starting at Georgetown and stopping at Clear […]
