Football!


On Sunday was the kids' weekly football games. First up was Caitlin's game.





 After she played she ran around the track with a teammate and her dog while we waited for Jayden's game to start.

Before their game, Jayden's coach was giving them a pep talk. This man is FUNNY! He always has us cracking up on the sidelines. 










 Jayden got to make up a play and execute it as quarterback!

DIY, Book Club, & Apple Picking

Last week at DIY, we made lots of fall crafts and sipped warm apple cider!












 Later that week we had book club. Our book of the month was Homeschool on a Battlefield. This is a description of the book:
"Jackson, Haley, Lainey and Katie are homeschool kids out for an adventure. They’re looking forward to a few days away from the books, exploring an old Civil War battlefield. But they end up with more than one mystery to solve as they form a new friendship that takes them down a dangerous road. Join these homeschool detectives as they crack codes, follow clues and learn by doing."
Apart from discussing the book, the kids learned what letterboxing is. They each made their own stamps with foam stickers, pens, and wine corks. The kids also learned how to solve sudoku puzzles.








And finally, Juan took the kids apple picking with a group of homeschooling friends. They picked a bunch of apples, brought home apple cider donuts and apple cider!
