Just an update...

Let's see, what have we done this week?

We went to our first 4H project this week, where the kids made dream catchers and clay pinch pots (though the Elf's is more of a pinch tray/plate). Both kids had loads of fun doing this and the dream catchers are now proudly displayed above their beds, hopefully doing their job!

Here is the Elf's, which he made all by himself. He chose "Halloween" colors (orange, black & purple)

And this is the Fairy's. She had help with wrapping the outer edge and attaching feathers, but she did do all the center work herself.

the Fairy also got to hold a very adorable baby, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good she was at it. She was very calm and still, and she said the baby was "cuter than any doll ever". Now she says she wants maybe 5, no 6, or maybe 8 babies of her own someday. In between being a very busy "animal doctor" (her words) for her brother's farm...

Other than that, we have been busy with Oak Meadow, library trips, the beginnings of fall, and of course, cornstarch goo....

And just for fun, a couple of pics from another goo day, a year and a half or so ago...
