    This week included…

    :: curling out at the lake house with a papa (yep, milo really took that shot!)

    :: lots and lots of valentine’s day love – a list of folks we love to add to throughout the week, felted balls for a garland, cards and more cards, heart shaped sandwiches and heart shaped juice ice cubes along with fruit parfaits…

    :: olympics love – we watched the women’s biathlon with skiing and shooting and the kids made targets to tape to our window and have an indoor track and archery range in the works for their own olympics. note the mess in the living room – this is how it often is – laundry, toys, a blanket attached to the dresser for a fort… sigh.

    :: trying to keep up with our gratitude journals – such a nice way to be intentional about thankfulness

    :: lots of learning about birds, nests (note a little one in his own cozy nest), math, electricity, cats, cooking, and more

    :: outside play time working on our forts, enjoying visits to the local playground – i hear talk of being mountain climbers as they gear up to head outside right now…

    The Week in Photos

    Lots of home photos as usual, as I rarely want to bring the big camera out in 40 below (or, any below really), and the iPhone battery goes oh so quickly in this weather… The kids are still enjoying daily excursions out to the backyard fort, or the neighbourhood park and playground where there is a community fort that is worked on by various visitors from the neighbourhood. I just love that kids can be connected in that way, each adding their own architectural touches to the structure – and that it hasn’t been knocked down by possibly less enthusiastic kids.

    What we’ve been up to this past week…

    :: Morning tea + story time

    :: Learning about birds and bird-watching

    :: Projects on cats, video game development, and electricity

    :: A special visit by papa who helped make a circuit board

    :: A certain little boy has learned how fun it is to stuff a pillow in his shirt and then slam himself into things, because ‘it doesn’t hurt’

    :: Wet felting and baking cookies at homeschool co-op

    :: Making all kinds of contraptions (the one shown was made to see if air would go through the tube)

    :: Exploring math through a Waldorf approach with a set that we crafted together

    :: Using some of the Waldorf math set as building blocks and to explore electrical current

    :: Swimming lessons and our first time at a water polo and kayaking night at the pool

    :: Making Maple Butter Calendula Popcorn – oh so good!

    :: An almost-daily coffee break for mama

    :: A fun friday night sushi dinner and a lovely weekend pumpkin pancake breakfast
