Peek At Our Week 10!

What a busy week! Two  field trips, school and me working! I think we accomplished quite a bit though! Not many projects this week sadly. Skyler and Fox both started their new journals though!! Massive excitement there.

I am so thrilled to say I actually helped edit this book and make up a few writing prompts! Now my daughter gets to use it!

She was also thrilled with her new computer class....

This was too perfect not to have together! This is a piper minecraft computer and it is awesome!!! This was something she couldn't wait to sit down and make her brother help put it together.

Those blueprints are HUGE! I am so excited for Skyler to use the minecraft book! We have been waiting a long time for this!

Damian did do a little unit about baking soda for a project this week. We didn't totally slack!

Fox had his pick between a few different journals and I was kinda surprised he didn't pick minecraft as well.

Every year the Stephen Foster park has a old timey kinda day so we went this year and after a few pictures and a few minutes all my kids were just ready to go! It was horribly crowded and my kids just weren't feeling it!!

We did stop by to see the amazing pottery teacher though! She is our favorite by far. We also watched them make cane syrup because that never gets old either.

We came home and spent the afternoon decorating for Fall. 

Skyler had to make a little fairy garden of course!

We also got to stop at homeschool park day with awesome friends! 

It was wonderful that this little cutey from the highway managed to score a great home as well. Strays are my weakness so I am almost always looking to home a puppy!

I was very impressed to receive this from my oldest childs' college. I am a proud momma!!

We finished our week with the history museums astronomy day. This happens once a year and it is always fun. It is almost an hour drive so it was even more fun getting half way there only to hear Skyler say, she forgot her shoes! We found some flip flops at Dollar General and had a great night together.

This artwork is also 3-D and it is amazing.

This cool guy told us all about how they are growing plants in space.

We had such a full week and such a fun time! 

A peek At our week 9!

Well our week started with a warning from my oldest!

Apparently the night before she didn't know how to kill the bug, so she trapped the bug and left us a warning. She is such an inventive girl!

This was Skylers last week with her Kitty Doodle journal. She was sad but excited to move on to a new theme. Next week she starts MINECRAFT! 

This was also her last week with space. She made a Mars Rover. 

We attempted a cool rocket only to find the pieces broken after we put it together, that was disappointing!

We made a telescope as well!

She made some constellations on the bathroom wall.

We also played with solar beads to show how the sun can change the color of certain things.

In pottery she painted her egg cooker and her pumpkin patch!

She did a BOO Halloween program where she volunteered as a helper! I am so proud of this. It is helping so much with her speaking skills, communication and team work! I adore our little library and the lady who runs all the programs. 

They put on this amazing shadow puppet show! It was adorable and I am so thrilled Skyler was allowed to help in that! It was based on the book called "Oh Yeah".

Fox is in between his journals right now waiting to pick a new one, so he is using pages from what was left of the Aspergers journal. 

Since he is learning about solar power he made some solar robots!

Damian is still moving on. Not totally thrilled but still trudging through! He has also started using the Dyslexia Games again because I am thinking it helped with concentration and handwriting.

This week he whipped up some devils food cupcakes from scratch! I was not fond of them but the kids sure were!

You have to excuse the messy house but, we live here! The other kids had no problem helping Damian either of course!! I feel this was a pretty quick light week! It is my first week back at any type of job so it has been a learning experience for us all! 

A Peek At Our Week 8!!!!

Seems like Skyler has a new friend to do school with! Her and her soft heart for strays is gonna get me in trouble one day.... He does enjoy the catnip she has grown though!

She of course still does her reading with Stella Luna! She is now reading the Professor Astro the Cat book about space now.

So of course I had to add a kit! You all knew that though, right? I adore science kits they are the best thing ever for homeschoolers! So we did some space experiments this week! We went into the closet a few times to learn about how your eyes adjust to the darkness, If it is easier to see white writing on black paper or white writing on white paper and we made a constellation viewer. I think the constellation cards that came with this are just adorable.

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

This is the first field trip I have managed this year. I think taking the boys was pushing it a bit! They spent most of the time telling me how bored they were. Skyler had a blast meeting up with other friends though so it wasn't a total loss. 

At least I got a smile out of Fox!

They jumped on a giant pillow. 

Skyler really enjoyed this rolling thing. We did it several times. Well, she did not the boys because they are just too big now. They repeated this over and over to me allllllll day!

Peek At Our week 7!!

Here are some highlights from our week and what we do when Mother Nature takes over! Always remember, we plan and God well, he laughs!!!

For Damian he made cabbage juice indicators in chemistry. We tested the PH of bread, vinegar, oil, water and a few other things as well. The smell of cabbage still turns my stomach by the way!

He also made some ice cream in a bag. He did not enjoy this it was messy and cold he said!
