Aa is for Art

The older two are using the Museum ABC book and watercolor pencils this year for art. I wish I had a set of these when I was their age. There's so many different options that can be done with watercolor pencils.

A Mid September Daybook

Outside my window...it is rainy, rainy, and rainy. It was 90 degrees last week. This week cold, blustery, and rainy. Fall is definitely in the air.

I am thankful for...the privilege to home school my children.

In the kitchen...a fall menu plan. One that includes lots of healthy crock pot meals. We are out of the house quite a bit this fall and I am finding having a menu plan in place makes things run that much smoother.

I am wearing...yoga pants and a fleece. It's cold!

I am creating...a list of field trips for the kids. Gotta include apple picking, pumpkin picking, hayrides, corn mazes, and everything fall.

I am reading...You Can Teach Your Children Successfully by Ruth Beechick. This book is for grades 4th-8th. I do enjoy her style and realistic view of children.

I am looking forward to...the busy of the fall with the flurry of activities. We took the summer off of outside obligations to reconnect back up as a family. It was great to rejuvenate to truly enjoy the fall busy schedule.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Irish dance, soccer practice, piano, religious ed, soccer games, and a few other meet ups with friends.

A peek into my day...
