Homeschool Week 7

Posted on Oct 26, 2008 under Homeschool, Pictures | No Comment

We did Katy No Pocket this week, although we were so busy it was hard to fit it all in! We got most of it done! We also studied kangaroos and Australia as part of our week. It was a BFIAR that was fun and casual.

CSA Week 21

Last week! It’s been quite the yummy season!
Still have all the acorn squashes. Thinking of making a soup for a Halloween party we are going to this year.
I froze all the peppers we’ve got over the last few weeks, in slices. This is my first time doing that. Hope we can find a way to use them!
Well, goodbye weekly supply of yummy produce! It’s been a fun summer!

We did this trick with Carter too. Sadly, I don’t even remember when it stopped :( it must have been a gentle weaning off the flip ;) Now it’s Skye’s new favorite way to be independent!
