Presenting Her Cutiness

Okay, I'll be honest. This isn't really an update. This is really just the easiest way to show a video of Charlotte to her adoring grandparents. She's only said her name a few times, and we were really excited when she did it on camera for us! Oh - and that's William practicing the piano in the backgroud.

Puppets

Monday is craft day in our little homeschool. These next few months we'll be working on re-vamping the church bag. First on the agenda - finger puppets.

Esther and Will worked very hard to make this stunning assortment.

Bottom row: Queen Esther (with her pet cat), a bird, a cat, and a dog.

Not So Boring

To your average person, a few paper towel tubes look like trash, or something to be recycled. 

In the eyes of William they are a didgeridoo

or a ninja sword.

SUMMER!

Random outside fun from this week.

First Day of School

In order to make lots of time for breaks, we got an early start on school this year. This is from our first day, July 30th. Our first week was great!

Macbeth

We do quite a bit of memorization over here. A few months ago Esther was required to memorize this little speech. William was expected to. Alex was just along for the ride, but I love hearing my 3-year-old quote Shakespeare.

Art Time

Sometimes it's okay to color on the wall.
