 Week 12

Always with the uploading in the wrong order!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Sorry about that!

But, this week was full of fun and creating and traditions and we even squeezed schoolwork in there too!


Hanging out in the “Hermes cabin”

Collectively we are Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief! Daniel as Percy, Brian as Poseidon, and me (always the ridiculous thing) as a lightning bolt. 

A neighbor friend was Annabeth!

Creating the cabin and the ambiance 

Finished Jack o lanterns

Using his beloved pocket knife to carve his pumpkin 


His finished pumpkin pizza!



Cutting the pumpkin shape out in the pizza dough


The black cat always brings donuts on Halloween morning!

He made a bomb squad uniform out of cardboard and tape - he never ceases to amaze me!

Daniel and Brian handmade my lightning bolt costume!

We got enough snow for Daniel to create our family in snowmen!


He put this outfit together as well as a dance and we just adore him

He had the brilliant idea to belay himself and his friends as they climbed a tree in the park next to our house. Luckily a neighbor clued us in and Brian was able to bring everyone down without injury!


Daniel created a little fort out of furniture, blankets, and cardboard where he did most of school work this week! He even had a bell so we could deposit food or mail in a slot and pick up trash, lol. 

Handsome dude before the primary program at church

  The First Two Weeks! We are enjoying 6th grade so far! We are using Mia Academy as our main curriculum. This week we did quick reviews in place value and adding and subtracting in math. We are enjoying Mia's Language Arts, especially Reading Comprehension. It's fun to read snippets of so many books! In September we will start going to a co-op two days a week (most likely). They will supplement what Daniel is learning in math and LA and they will also cover chemistry and social studies - ancient civilizations this year. So that will be fun! This week we received our ants for our ant farm and they are currently in the dark, and we are hoping they are tunneling away! Daniel is still in gymnastics but he goes twice a week now and is in the advanced gymnastics class. He is also still taking piano, but we are really missing his group class! It's too bad that Presto Piano is only a 2 year program. Daniel's Aunt Bonnie came for a visit this week, too. She will be staying with...

Week 6 Daniel found another monarch caterpillar while at the park with friends this week!   He brought it home and put it in the same habitat as the other chrysalis. He also ran to the creek to get some milkweed for it - twice! Cause that caterpillar was very hungry!! Daniel found a crawdad at our creek and was worried enough about it that he wanted to keep it in the homeschool room with us while he worked. I love watching him rehearse for his play! He's doing so great. Daniel had an idea to create a light-weight wagon so he could pull things while he rode his bike, It worked! He was very excited about that. This is the second crawdad Daniel has found at our creek this week! Third overall. I didn't even know our creek had crawdads!! The new caterpillar moved to the top of the container and is starting to form his chrysalis! And here he is! Amazing. We've been taking a lot of walks lately - loving the fall weather! Family game night - this one is Race to the Treasure. I love...

  Week 5 This was a super fun week! Daniel got to go on a camp out with his dad. They made foil dinners and cooked them in the fire and roasted marshmallows and fruit, lol, because Daniel loves his fruit! There wasn’t much sleep that night but we still went to the BYU football game the  next day! It was a late one but we won!! The school week was filled with reading comprehension, learning arts, and math. Plus, Daniel started his first week at Yate’s Place! He’s loving it so far. One of his best friends also goes to Yate’s Place and they love that they get to go together!
