I love how homeschool field trips are so much more affordable and less busy. We took the opportunity to go to the zoo since this was Pumpkin's first time. We took along Bud's best friend who treated everyone to all the cotton candy and Icee that his money could buy. He was definitely a favorite person that day! Pumpkin got to see her zebra and giraffes and Bubby seemed pretty happy in the stroller so long as I kept the snacks coming. We were there from 10 until nearly 3 and SO exhausted by the end!
Arizona State University had an open house that we attended one weekend. The kids had fun playing games such as chess and making their own mazes. They learned how lie detectors worked and even what makes chocolate so addictive.
With all the learning that happens daily around her, our Pumpkin has turned into quite the sponge for a 3 year old. This is her spelling her name as her sister uses the tiles to work on her spelling list.
Bug has had to work on her vision still and part of that involves doing puzzles. This was not her favorite thing as her eyes had troubles seeing part from the whole but with her improved eyes she found puzzling has an addictive nature, the snap of interlocking pieces - and now she's a convert! This is did completely on her own, 200 pieces. I'm proud of her persistence!
Pumpkin HAS TO follow in big sisters footsteps and we bought a few little ones for her. She wasn't satisfied with the challenge and went and did this 100 piece one all by herself and has since put it back together on her own everyday.
Coop has gone well and we've done everything from our mini Olympics, to a Valentine's party, and learned about the Native American people and attempted hoop dancing.
Some of the moms caught pictures of the older coop doing their thing. Bud was pretty pleased with his density experiment.
We attended the annual McCormick Railroad park Special Kids day and had a blast. Bubby definitely loves the food there, but it getting so that he likes trying some of the games. Animals are always fascinating but generally from a distance.
Chips, popcorn and ice cream ... all this little man's favorited!
The girls HAD to love on all the animals and of course Bug had to climb. I love her tenacity!
The kids amaze me and I'm so grateful that I have the blessing to be able to homeschool and share in their adventures so regularly!
