Fall

Like most kids, ours resumed school this Fall.  However, unlike most, I am their teacher!  We have had a good time with school thus far.

Our first field trip was with two other families from church that also homeschool.  We went to and RV dealership.  Hilltrop Trailer Sales to be exact.  I wasn't expecting much.  I mean, an RV parking lot?  Boy was I surprised.  All the kids had a great time!  The man giving us the tour let the kids explore several RVs.

Field trip number two was at Minnehaha Falls.  There are a number of LDS families in the area who homeschool.  As a tradition with one of the families, they visit Minnehaha Falls on their first day of school.  They invited everyone in the facebook group to join them.  So, we went and had a great time.

Edmund has really enjoyed creating some artwork to go along with the history units we study.  Here are a couple pictures:

Egypt (left) and Joseph's coat of many colors (right).

Edmund lost his first tooth!

When Faye has an idea, there is no stopping her.  In September, she taught herself how to ride her bike without training wheels!  She just kept trying and trying until she did it.

Carter's 3rd birthday!

We celebrated all day.  His birthday was the same day as the Saturday General Conference sessions.  We let him open his presents in the morning.  Above, he is enjoying his breakfast in his new cup and bowl.  Below, we had pizza and cake for dinner.

Halloween fun:

Trick or Treat?  Lots of candy this year!

Pretty colors!  The kids nicknamed this particular area of our complex "Leaf Island."

Devon and I went to the Bootlegger's Ball held at the Minnesota History Center.  We had a great time!
