Monday October 4

Today was either exceptionally busy....or I just kept my camera with me and captured most of the days events

Lacing shapes!

Reading books

Listening to Johan Sebastian Bach. We LOVE this song.

Then we practiced on the recorder

Took a walk around the yard and gathered some nature goodies

Came in the house and started on our banner, but ran out of materials for the word GIVE.

Must head out soon.

apple-pumpkin prints

Lunch and much discussion over books read earlier

A quick game of Fraction Pies with chalk while we wait for Dad

Off to find more nature goodies

Here is a good spot

Beaver???

We discovered many rocks

My crew hogging the swing set!

Fungi

That is a giant grasshopper (or locust)--it was BIG and UGLY and I didn't want to get to close to take a picture

more fungi

Ahhhhh

See an abandoned house on the highway. Carefully and safely examine the building and discuss plaster, slats, and ancient TV's. Also point out sagging second story and decide to leave

A stop at an old graveyard. A look at how lichen covers the graveyard posts

Graveyards are very interesting

Baci ball-living room style

And we finish our masterpiece!
