Loads of Learning, Profusion of Play





I spent this week in a very loose routine. Daniel picked up "Story of the Orchestra" by Robert Levine and has really enjoyed listening to the CD and reading about composers. Interestingly, I had purchased this for us to do as a school subject early on when we started homeschooling. That didn't go well. Now here he is digesting it on his own!

Sarah wants to build a pallet playhouse outside, so I had her draw plans and make a prototype, which she is doing with matchboxes. She also is playing a game with herself which involves dressing up and doing her hair. Oh, and she was cleaning out a box of her stuff and found some Silly Putty and hence, the snake.

Monkey Pillow





Sarah announced, "I want to make a pillow for Jada"...and off we go! She is really improving her sewing, corners and stuffing. It turned out awesome!

Nerf Wars

This girl is armed to the teeth. This is today's collaboration! Apparently, they took a break from playing plushies to engage in hallway combat! I love how Sarah looks like RAMBO with all this ammo and the triumphant pose!

Yum?



Sarah's food experiments...LOTS of hot chili sauce...it smells really bad and clears the sinuses! Thankfully, she moved on to sewing before COOKING it!

Sarah's Kitty Pillows


Sarah enjoyed using my sewing machine to make the turquoise & pink cat pillow but stitched the beach kitties on her machine. She loves stuffing them when the sewing is completed!

Let's Play Plushies

Sarah would play plushies 24/7 if she didn't need to spend time eating and sleeping. The kids have recently started playing in earnest TOGETHER. LOVE their elaborate plots and cities!
