Poppins enjoyed a game of animal matching with the "littles". He's such a great guy.
Branch and The Girl finished their second book of Greek. They were very excited.
They tore the pages off the metal binder for recycling. It was a fun job to celebrate their accomplishment.
The Girl hosted
A Trip to the Shore tea party. Unfortunately, one of her little friends had to attend a funeral, and the other couldn't come until later. We still had a great time, though, and the food was yummy!
peach boats a-float a sea of blue Jello
savory pastry puffs
pimento-and-cheese sandwiches
a selection of pirate's goodies
beach scene cupcakes with hidden "fish" swimming inside. quite cute.
The girls enjoyed the selection of nibbles.
Afterwards, they made leis of colorful flowers.
Friday-on-Monday class was fun this week. After all the readings, Greek & Latin, the kids played a geography game.
Branch asked The Girl to help him act out a clue (she was a sled dog being "mushed").
Stennes has been very busy working on
Mama's Throne, a chair of Cherry, Black Walnut, and Osage Orange. It's going to be very beautiful. Mean Ol' Mama can't wait.
Josiah has also been working on Mean Ol' Mama's
Pottery Shelf. She already has big plans for displays.
Just being together...
Anders has been working on Forestry information and cutting out stencils for his mini-booth entry in the Fair.
shhhh...
ChubChub has been spending time doing 30-minute activities, such as puzzles. The change of pace keeps him happy and busy throughout our school day.
He's a sweetie, and so clever, too.
Josiah placed First in the district Forestry Judging competition. We were very proud.
Anders has been busy with his mini-booth project
DO count your chickens BEFORE they hatch! Obviously, he's doing a project on egg incubation. The photo shows him checking eggs for fertilization.

30-minutes of quiet reading...
Gotta look cool to wash clothes, ladies.
Josiah took this beautiful photo.
Gotta look cool to show off your puppies, too.
We had out-of-town company Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Talk about fun, fun, fun! The kids really had a good time, and the adults caught up on old times and too much food!
