Tulip Festival!

Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day. We decided to go to the local Tulip Festival. We throughly enjoyed all the different variety of tulips.

Handwriting

For our handwriting curriculum we use copywork as advocated by Charlotte Mason. I complile a list from our reading selections for the week. A valuable resource is the Ambleside Online Copywork Yahoo Group. Here is one selection Caleb had this week:

Poetry-Christina Rossetti

Brown and furry

Caterpillar in a hurry,

Take your walk

To the shady leaf, or stalk,

Or what not,

Which may be the chosen spot.

No toad spy you,

Hovering bird of prey pass by you;

Spin and die,

To live again a butterfly.

Snapshots of Easter

The Handsome Brothers!


The Really Pretty Daughter!
