Our Week in Pictures

This week was one of the most beautiful since spring began. It was fairly warm and the sun was shining here in Georgia. So, we spent most of our time outdoors hiking and climbing trees! The kids used their binoculars or “Onoculist” as my daughter Jade calls them, to look for birds and squirrels. We followed deer tracks and found sweet little flowers on the forest floor.

Jade was convinced there where crocodiles, or as she calls them “crocydiewals,” in this little creek.

A cardinal pair made a nest in my sons favorite climbing tree. So, he is now on the look out for a new one.

When we were not outside hiking, we were inside painting and learning about Greenland Sharks! My son even got to ask questions from a real Shark Scientist online! That was really neat. We then learned about octopus, black warblers and our all time favorite snake…Titanaboa! Then we moved on to reviewing Paraceratherium, learning about Australopithecus and then Giganotosaurus! All of that was because my son wanted too! I was just along for the ride. Jade, meanwhile, painted beautiful pictures, on herself and my dinning room table….

We also had our very first Tea Party! It was quite the treat to have tea with baby cow, Mr. Dinosaur, Elsa, and Rapunzel….Yoda was not invited.

Gabriel had his best friend over one day and they played with LEGOs for three hours straight!

Finally, we went to the play ground. This gave Gabriel a chance to practice his sling shot while Jade practiced sliding and climbing on the picnic tables.

We had a really great week of play, nature, and homeschooling….although my dining room table may never recover.

    What a lovely week you all have had. I really really wish I could handle messy play as I know it’s so good for kids and sensory skills but I don’t know how you didn’t panic with all that paint out. Looks like fun though. lol Great adventures. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. Hope you are having a lovely weekend. #sharewithme

      Thanks Jenny! When my now 7 year old was 2 and 3, I did panic and fuss about the messes. It seems that I’ve mellowed since my daughter came along and she is 10 times more messy than he ever was!!! Most of the paint came off the table by the way….and the bit that didn’t, well now its a memory ๐Ÿ™‚

    What a fabulous week you’ve had! That is an awesome amount of lego by the way and love that he spent time learning about dinosaurs completely off his own back. Thank you for linking this up at #sharethejoy and have you had a blog makeover by the way or am I seeing things…?

      Thank you, we had a great week. My son is the type that directs his own learning and already seems to know what he wants to learn about. I did give my blog a makeover! I’m new to blogging and I’m still trying to find my look…although I feel this one is pretty darn close ๐Ÿ™‚
