Homeschool Fun

The past two weeks have been a bit crazy, with our trip to Boston and then me feeling like I was I was lost in space due to jetlag and a never ending sea sick experience.  We haven't been in the same routine and it was nice to sit down and have some fun school.  We did some work with shapes, big and small, opposites, and Noah practiced writing his first and last name.  Then we talked about the seasons and how today is the first day of Fall.  Noah asked when snow is coming and he was bummed that it's gonna be a while...I'm not.  I   guess that reminded him of hot chocolate because he asked if he could watch Dora and drink hot chocolate after school.  I feel like I'm talking like the Give a Mouse a Cookie books right now.
I have this craft book that you use the outline of the hand to make all these cute simple crafts.  I am going to save them for when they grow up and can see their different hand sizes.  I didn't get to do one with Ava today because she was asleep.  Next time I will just have to trace her hand before her nap.  Today we did a tree and used real leaves. 

  Aren't they so cute!

Everytime we get ready to read their Bible lesson, Noah is super ready and Eli always says, "I don't like Bible", just to hear me say, "you like your treat for listening like a big boy, don't you?"  He gives me a sly grin and says, "yeah, I guess."  Little stinker.  He is a rebellious little dude at times.  Today we read about God placing a rainbow in the sky as a promise to never flood the Earth again.  This reminded Noah of The Rainbow Song from the Cat in the Hat on PBS Kids.  It was precious and I captured the moment just for you...well, for me, but I'll share with you:

So Mr Entertainer Elijah went and got his guitar to play some Old McDonald:

what's a video of two little boys without the word "POOP" in it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and HAPPY FALL!! I'm excited about all the fun fall activities to follow.
