A favorite spot for doing school work.
Chelsea reads in between co-op classes.
Oma helps Chelsea with her Louisiana Geography study...
while Annie and I make and bake Alice's Vinegar Cake (no egg/no dairy ingredients but we still had to go next door to borrow a cup of sugar from Aunt Jan (: and, evidently Annie needs more coaching in "drizzling" icing on a cake or I need more practice in cutting a recipe in half).
A random world tour study that literally fell into our lap upon finding these folk tale and fable books at the library book sale for .25 cents a book.
We're in India right now.
Then Russia.
Then we'll hop over to China.
A favorite morning activity done after our morning offering. Saint of the day coloring sheets (blessed courtesy of my "stately" neighbor Waltzing Matilda) while Mom reads a short biography.
A few of the 9th grader's tinkerings...
...as he hunkers down to do his Teaching Textbook lesson which allows me the peace of mind to do all the "other stuff" because math is blissfully taken care of...for the most part.
And my daughter's college books on the table and...
...on her bedroom floor
...while most of her work (including tests) is done on her laptop.
With school over and birthday money starting to come in, Chelsea takes some free time to make a "money box". She's hoping for tons to go shopping. :)
And Maureena the cat who long, long ago took over my role as Queen of the Castle.
Very cool look at a "day in the life"! THANKS! Hope all have recovered and no more hurricanes hit this year ....
Blessings and hugs ....

What great pictures! I LOVE teaching textbooks for dd (almost 11 y.o.). Looks like a great day! By the way, Maureena is a beauty!

It looks so nice and autumny there with the pumpkins and scarecrow in the window. :)
