Come December

The end of the year is coming and we so need a break. I have already been sifting through thoughts of what the kids need to work on improving, but am also seeing how far they have come in the last few months. I have not gotten around to blogging Aiden's work but he is steaming along right beside everyone else, with book reporting, cursive writing, daily creative writing, Teaching Textbooks math, etc.
I still love the freedom that we have in teaching our kids and keeping them close to our hearts and what we value. We are far from perfect, and life is so busy living out of the city and with a two year old running around to boot. It is still worth it when this Mamma counts the cost at the end of the day.
*sigh* Rest is God given. After reporting we are calling it holidays!!

A warm October, full of adventures.

It was unusually warm this autumn. We had a few adventures in our beautiful province of BC.

 

Our road trip to Kamloops Lake in Steelhead Provincial Park, Savona. The kids explored and collected many materials and made a driftwood fort. 

 

 

 

 

We took a hike around the duck ponds and trails in Pineview Valley, Kamloops. We found some bear poop and visited the ducks. The kids collected a ton of beautiful, red fall leaves. We stopped at the playground and then borrowed a side walk to draw with chalk- Aiden wrote his name, the boys drew robots, and Gemma made a hopscotch game.

 

 

 

 

Another adventure was to Tranquille Farm Fresh. We conquered the corn maze and then learned how to work some old machinery like the corn miller. Then the kids each picked a pumpkin to take home. They got to borrow the wagon to tow their pumpkins and Finn hitched a ride.
