After lunch is our read aloud time. Ben, Maura and David chose books to read to me. It had become my favorite time of the day. Well, one of the favorites! Ben is doing so well. He was a late reader, but is doing quite well now. Each of the children has liked a different sort of book. Ben loves anything historical or about horses.
We are possum sitting for some friends on vacation this week. Thrilling for the children! Grace is their main caregiver since Kaley is so busy, working at Willow Tree School and going to college. She is doing a great job. Kaley does take the midnight and sometimes 3am shift.
Also a built in nature study to our nature study. This is Curtiss favorite of the four, the only boy, he calls him Tiny Tim or Timmy since he is the littlest.
We did nature study from our own back yard this week. This is lady's thumb, very pretty. And of course we sketched the baby possums.
Not from this week, but I love this picture so added it. All seven children (Max on Curtiss's back) enthralled that the pond at Crowders Mtn had been refilled. All these were taken with my phone, which is not a great quality, but is the way I caught some bits and pieces of our life.
