No.311: This Week at the Farmhouse // vol.10

WHAT WE LEARNED 

+ In Around the World, we started our Australia unit and read the first half of Mirror.  We also watched all of the Wild Kratt episodes on Australian animals we could find!

+ TJ has been asking for more math, so I picked up this workbook.  He is so serious about his work and loooves putting the gold star sticker on his page when he’s done. 

+ D (5th grade) is working on his Lincoln’s Last Days matchbook folder project and it’s turning out great! 

+ Overheard from my seventh grader: “My two favorite subjects are Vocab Roots and Fallacy Detective…but not math.” 

TEN THINGS I’M GRATEFUL FOR

a gorgeous tree decked out in orange leaves by our driveway
chilly mornings
putting away my flip flops and taking out my slippers
when the kids make dinner for me all on their own (a huge help!)
a clean kitchen
dainty twinkle lights
steady sales on Poshmark
a possible new opportunity for Mark
new shoes for all of the kids (thanks Mom and Dad!)
Lucy

    I love your pic of The Book Thief. And I, too, love a good, orange tree.

      I'm so glad I took a picture of it because we had one rainy, windy day and now the tree is completely bare! It was a beautiful while it lasted. 🙂
