Hezekiah (6), chillin' in a tree.
I confessed a while back about how much it bothered me that I post Wordless Wednesday posts with a word in the title…after many thoughtful comments, I have switched to One Word Wednesdays…a bit more bulky to say perhaps, but certainly more accurate.
Now another reader question..should my photo captions have periods? Or are they okay without? Or do they just need a period if its a complete sentence (like the caption above)?
The air has turned cooler, the days darker and we now have fires in our wood stove every day. I am reminding myself I cannot afford to skip my vitamin D. My midwife checked my levels during routine blood work last winter and informed me I had the lowest level she's ever seen in a patient (7). I was so proud. Especially after my dad told me the doctor had check his levels and freaked out because his were so low (15)! Must run in the family. I'm not (or wasn't) a huge believe in the need for vitamins. But I started taking vitamin D and went from feeling like a slug to a turtle. Such an improvement!
School's fallen into a bit of a routine and I feel like its time to begin some fun projects. Last week we focused on Scout work. Hezekiah did a ton of stuff from his Tiger book and earned the Map and Compass belt loop and academic pen. Mordecai worked on some of the stuff too, but hasn't completed the requirements yet. The girls have been working on Girl Scout badges. Tilly and Adalia have been knitting machines. Soon we'll begin screen printing. And perhaps some more tie dye. Apollo has outgrown nearly all of his tie dye clothing…I'll be packaging those up and giving them away soon.
There's something about the cooler darker days that make me want to focus on handmade projects. I love the opportunities homeschooling gives us for trying out new things.
Anyone out there have some great ideas for new projects for us to try? In the past we've done: sewing, knitting, felting, screen printing, beading and tie dying. These are all still favorites, but we always up for something new as well.
