So Far This Week

 I decided I'd better update before I get too many pictures.
We went over to a place called the Nature Discovery Center. The kids really seemed to like it and so I signed Eaden up for some weekly Nature Detective classes. Hopefully, she can make some friends and have fun learning as well.





Back home we've noticed that we haven't had many birds hanging around lately. So here is our attempt at attracting them back. 
Here's our current "homeschool" setup. I'm on the lookout for a small table and chairs so that the kids can have proper posture and feel comfortable as they draw, write, color, etc.
I organized a bit and managed to get all of the books we're using for preschool on one shelf. Oh man how this will grow over the years...
The girls made paper dolls of themselves. Eaden loved this!
We went on a little exploration with our goal being to find things that reminded us of Autumn.




 The Doodlebug Brigade mostly just wanted to hunt doodlebugs.
We tried to slow down, LOOK, and really observe our surroundings.


 Little man wasn't really feeling it.
So we headed back to the park.




 Once home, we finished a Fall craft we had been working on...another stick/yarn thingy.
Happy Autumn!
P.S. Eaden wants dinosaur shoes again!
