October happenings...

This month has really flown by, and I have forgotten how long it's been since I've posted something here. School has been going well and we've really gotten into a good routine, but it's left little time for other things (like keeping up here!) I thought I'd post a couple of things we've done lately.
First, Haleigh is studying about the first colonists of America and the Native Americans. For one of her projects, we made a wigwam. She is a very hands on learner,and really gets into projects, so this new curriculum we're using is a good fit.

The (mostly) finished product!
Haleigh has also been asking to have a tea party with me recently. So last week, while the little ones were sleeping, she and Caleb and I had our own version of a tea party. Caleb was not interested at all until he saw that we were having hot cocoa and frosted animal crackers. Haleigh and I went all out, from using our tea cups and saucers to lighting candles. It was a sweet moment for us all!
