The Masterpiece

We've watched it grow and now it's complete. I've scanned it in and sent it off to a few select friends. It is just wonderful the talents Kaitlynn has developed.

To Kill A Mockingbird

Image
It's always wonderful to hear that there is a drawing option for an assignment in one of Kaitlynn's classes. In ELA, they've read "To Kill A Mockingbird," and now a short graphic novel is to be created on the points that most stand out to the students. She is creating a piece of art that makes me shiver, I love it.

A Mild Obsession

Firefly- The Board game has become our favourite. We played a lot of Cities and Knights before this and had a lot of fun with that expansion. Firefly was a bit of a challenge to learn, and we hope we're playing it correctly, but now it's nearly the only the game we feel like playing. So far, I've won 3 games, Todd has 2 wins and Jared has yet to succeed.

Music To My Ears

The sound of my kiddos laughing together fills me with joy and a sense that all is right in the world. They are in the middle of creating with Photoshop...a muscular kidney bean. Maybe I'll be able to add the result in a later post.

Jared played "Precious Moments" by Thelma Gillis.

Up Go the Lights

It seems we just took them down, but here we are again. With a couple of mild days, the roof is decked out in lights. Soon will be Kaitlynn's 16th birthday, then the holidays, then the 2nd semester of school, then another summer, and time is making my head spin! Nice pants!
