Candle making....





Sam and Abigail aren't feeling very well at the moment...this morning they watched The Wizard of Oz and relaxed. This afternoon they did a little of their Where the Wild Things Are project and then they settled to some crafts - Sam did some Halloween crafts and then they both started to work on the candle making kits I picked up at Dollarama!! They come with moldable wax and two wicks - so you can make shapes out of the wax like playdough and mold it around the wick. They've had some creative fun :)

Kitten's obsession...




Watching the birdies outside....they are at all of the feeders and even just outside the window on the porch teasing him.....he spends hours just sitting there watching...and hoping ;)

What are you reading at the moment???


I'm reading The Book Thief....

Where the Wild Things are....continued...






Abigail continues to work through her unit on Where the Wild Things Are.....we won't go to see the movie for another week or so...we are enjoying the art and craft ideas we have found online too.....they link well with the workbook we have....this includes art techniques such as 'crosshatching'....

Coyote pays a call...





This little guy was outside our house howling away this morning! I snapped some pictures but as you can see, he soon saw me and ran off ;) I wonder why he was howling and what he was calling his friends for........we have had quite large packs running through each night around 11pm or so....they run in the same direction, through the same area...howling and squealing.....you could set the clock by them almost!! Rare to see them here during the day though and they just run off if they see you - not like the city coyotes who seem so used to humans when you see them on the news....
