Someone's Watching

Driving around Salt Lake

The Leonardo

We recently visited a fabulous museum-  The Leonardo - with our commonwealth group.

There is currently an exhibit there about Leonardo da Vinci where the kids were able to touch and experiment with replicas of some of Leonardo's inventions.

Then we headed to the other exhibits and had a blast!

Nyah doing the weather - there are a bunch of green clothes so she had fun making different parts of her body disappear.

Austin and his friends spent over 30 minutes playing with these mirrors - giggling 11 & 12 year old boys are hilarious to watch!

This exhibit was also a big hit - after lining up with marks on the floor the kids would started dancing and showing off their moves, and the skeleton on the computer would copy them.

After the mirrors the boys moved on to the skeleton. They had a great time confusing the computer and the skeleton would end up dancing on his head.

Coloring

Fancy coloring on the computers 

Making a still-motion movie about dragons.

Getting Ready for Halloween

Costume Explosion!! We pulled out our boxes of costumes and the kids have had so much fun every since. Make sure you find Jolie in all the pictures - she would add something to her outfit and then come for a picture, and then add another thing and want another picture. Sophie has been wearing the Snow White dress all the time! She's excited to be a princess.

Decorating the house-

Farm Field Trip

A couple weeks ago we went to a nearby family farm for a field trip. It's not very big, but we still had plenty of fun pretending to drive tractors, climb hay bales, get lost in a mini-corn maze, and pet the goats. And of course all the produce we bought was delicious!

Mornings

Time to get started . . . or not!

Super Sophie

Cutest little one around! Love her hair.

Homeschooling

The last couple months I've had a few friends and family members ask what we do for homeschool. I just finished up a post on our homeschool blog that goes over our current plans if you are interested - Fall 2012. Please ask any questions you have about general homeschool stuff or more specific details about what we do - I'm not shy about it!! 

Love you all!!
