It's that time again, fussy baby or not...school time!
Part of getting ready for school this year was yet another face lift for the school room, this time with color and new shelving. Here are the before and after pictures of our custom designed and built school room.
On the first day of school the kids woke up to find their school books and supply kits along with homemade chocolate zucchini muffins.
Seth is ready for the first day of school, wearing a onsie that says "Too Cool for Preschool."
Seth is also modeling our stack of read aloud books for this year.
While weeding the carrots we found this cool looking caterpillar and researched to find out that it will become an Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly. We put the caterpillar in a jar and in a couple of days found this cool chrysalis. In a couple weeks we came home to find this beautiful butterfly. Unfortunately we missed seeing both transformations, but it was still good science to see the stages that a butterfly goes through.
In the book "The Witch of Blackbird Pond," the girls worked on their sewing, needlepoint and knitting each night so we decided to learn a little bit about these arts. Krystal is learning to crochet.
Clarissa works on some needlepoint.
This is the flower that Clarissa made.
These are some headbands that I crocheted by watching a tutorial online.
