Both my girls enjoy it, but Julianna's whole body practically sings when she's engaged in some kind of creative endeavor. It brings me much joy just watching her.
Of course the boys are never far away. John Paul is becoming a cut-and-glue fanatic. He's been a scissoring-fool for quite a while - he will sit and just cut cut cut til the floor is littered with paper scraps. Now he's added some Elmer's school glue to the occasion and he is becoming quite a craft-y little man!
I love this photo of Isaac working. (from earlier in the week.) He is standing with his feet in two different chairs!
Today was a full day (aren't they all?) at the end of a full week. But while the days are full I don't feel exhausted or overwhelmed or discouraged. Mostly I'm thankful. Our home school days are really (mostly!) smooth. Our local school is experience is gobs easier than it was last fall. Isaac seems to (finally) be in a solid spot with his preschool and the little boys are rolling through their days, learning and loving and learning to love.
The last weeks of October and then through November will be very full for Matt. We looked at the calendar and counted travel days a few nights ago. I had to take a couple of deep breaths :) But for now I'm still feeling optimistic! So we'll run with that :)
[The picture above is from earlier this evening - it seems that all of a sudden the skies darken early and streetlights are on and some of the kiddos pulled up stools to watch a man washing restaurant pans (in the plastic tub by the curb). They were fascinated by him, he was fascinated by them. win-win-win

Such concentration as they work! Wonderful. Love the silhouettes of the kids watching the washer man as the sun sets. Getting dark earlier here too as we head into fall.
