Homeschool Happenings: Pumpkins and such...

 Wood pumpkin crafts that the girls found in their homeschool workbox "surprise of the day" bag

Another one: pumpkin and poetry craft, along with the history of jack o lanterns

The girls working fairly independently and cooperatively with their newly implemented workbox system...this is a HUGE hit that works very well for all of us.  A little preparation on the teacher's end goes a LONG ways!

And we FINALLY made it to our first homeschool swim/gym class at the Island Rec Center pool...wait?  this is NOT a pool????  VERY insightful;)   Yes, that's right, after missing the first few classes, because we were traveling, we thought it would be fun to make our first appearance today.....just to find out that we didn't get the memo that there weren't enough swim instructors, so class is canceled this week.  But, I wasn't the only one to not receive the memo...our good friends did not; so we *settled* for plan B....poooooor us:D
