I’m putting up a bunch of pictures today. I’m sure that’s the only way I’m going to catch up.

Crafting time used to involve us making all sorts of different things. Isabelle would ask for something and I would cut out a shape and then tinier little bits and let her go glue crazy. We’d make things like rain clouds.

Chocolate chip cookies.

Or princess crowns.

But seeing that she has a new obsession now, it’s all butterflies. What would you like Isabelle, I ask. A butterfly, she replies. Then after that I ask again and she asks for another butterfly and another and another. It’s a family of butterflies.

And we’re having a global adventure! Doesn’t that sound fun?

It’s our homeschool meetup group. Once a month we’re meeting to learn about a new country. The kids got their pictures taken and they’ll be getting little pretend passports with stamps from the countries we’re “visiting”.

This past week we “visited” Ireland. And the kids got to make Irish soda bread.

And now I must stop typing. Nathan is fussing. Well at least I got these pictures up.

  1. Must. Find. Homeschooling group! How did you find yours? I suppose you just knew someone who was in one? That’s the advantage of not moving every two years. :-)

  2. No, actually I found my group through meetup.com. :)
