Our Friday...


Morning light through my bedroom window:


A visit to the library to get books and return dvd's.  Abigail found the book she wanted to read as recommended by her online homeschool friend Abby:


Today was chilly and although it was sunny most of the time, rain clouds kept threatening:


My Instagram friend Marie said this picture looks like Heaven:


We went to Katies Crossing with my friend Ki and her Daughter and had supper there
 (and ice creams lol):







As usual, a train went by while we were eating - in fact TWO did:


We stopped to take pictures on the way home:





We bought caterpillars at Education Station today.  They posted on Facebook that they had three kits left, so we popped in to grab one.  We have done the butterfly raising kits several times in the past, but the children really enjoy it, and learn something new each time: 


The caterpillars have to be cleaned out each day - the webbing and the poop has to be removed with a paint brush:


Abigail decided she wants to learn cursive hand writing - so we got her a book to help her learn and tonight we sat on the bed and went through several pages until she could do many of the letters and write her name:


I bought this kit for them to have a go with - and a Geology book for Sam's grade as he is obsessed with rocks and stones.  This morning we sat and watched the dvd we were given free at the Gemstone and Mineral show last week.  Sam enjoyed it so much that he sat and watched it again tonight while we worked on the handwriting:
