A Couple of Birthdays!

We have two birthdays close together in the fall. Sweetpea turned 7 on October 31st, and Buddy turned 3 on November 9th. Here are some pictures from the festivities:

Sweetpea had a horse/rainbow party!

The kids made tie-dye bandannas.

She broke it on the second hit!

Buddy! He had a Cookie Monster party!
 

Fun Fridays!

We have been trying to get together with my sister, sister in-law, and cousin on Fridays for some nature walks and science learning. The kids are enjoying that very much and I'm enjoying our new schedule of 4 full school days and 1 lighter day. Here are some pictures from a few Fridays:

Learning about Butterflies and flowers!

Human Digestion day! The kids made stomachs and learned how we digest.
Bird watching and nature journaling!
We also made popcorn strings for the birds.
   
Pumpkin Patch field trip with local homeschoolers!  

There were two other Fridays in here but I must have forgot my camera.
