February continued

Ahhh… much better!!

Colouring sessions happen galore.
















Another beautiful day brought us a chance to spend time in the yard roasting marshmallows, and run around in a princess dress. 

And yes, chop up the Christmas tree to get rid of it.  In February.


For $1 I picked up a brand new game of Twister at the second hand store.  Only it didn’t have a spinner. So I made one out of a coffee tin lid and a popsicle stick.  Great fun!! 

Birthday and Christmas monies were spent by the girls on their first Legos.

Ezra and Zephan spent some money on some too.

The next day when the power went out, Kzena continued to build by candlelight.  That’s dedication!

Kzena was learning about fossils and for an experiment made a mold fossil.  Measure, mix, imprint.  Great fun!

We are learning how to draw by using “The Drawing Textbook”by Bruce McIntyre.  We’ve only just begun lesson 7, after doing a few review lessons.  Kzena loves to colour, loves to draw.  Here’s a sample of her review lesson page.  I helped her get the lines in the right direction on the house, but otherwise, the rest is done by her!  Art is one subject that gets left off the list when we run out of time, but for Kzena’s sake, I’m going to make sure this is done more often. 

A few odds and ends:
What’s better than a brand new pack of markers???

It’s so much more fun bunking together.  I call them “my Little House in the Prairie girls” which sets off a round of giggles.
