Another week

 Pretending to be a bean burrito.

 Somebody got a hair cut!

 We headed to the Explore and More museum in East Aurora to spend a morning with some friends. It was such a perfect fall morning to drive out there and all the children played well together.  In the craft room, the theme of the day was sweaters.

 Theo playing with play dough.

 The rice table was a hit.

 Mexican masks!

 John and Theo playing in the toddler area.

 Daddy and Theo have a nighttime ritual that includes looking at family photos, viewing the sky, saying a simple prayer and blowing out the light.

 I love when I see this, even if it only lasts a few minutes.

 On the homeschooling front, everything has been going well.  It really has been a fun challenge. I have been reading up on lots of different homeschooling techniques and methods.  In the picture above Jacob is making his own "story machine" (idea courtsey of "Alphabet Glue).  I love when I see the boys take to an idea and run off with it.

Here is Jacob's completed story machine. He wrote a story about mice getting bread at the store.   

Daddy and Raphael looking at bugs under the rocks.  Raphael is interested in anything related to nature and animals.
p.s. The themes of the week are birds and Africa.
