October 2014

During October we went apple picking at 

a beautiful organic orchard owned by a 

fellow homeschooling family.  We went to 

 Gammelgarden museum in Scandia.

This was great because it tied in our local 

history/geography and our next portion of 

our curriculum.  This is when I introduced Matthew 

to the Norse myths.  After the field trip

we really focused on these Norsemen.

 We also took a beautiful field trip to Taylors Falls.

We had a guided tour of the pot holes and enjoyed 

all the colors.

Tillie's hiding in these smaller pot holes.

 We saved seeds from our garden this year.

And worked at our good friends land 

for a community work day.

This involved getting the garden ready 

for spring, helping them build their house, 

and helping them make bricks.  Very educational :)

the kids are collecting bean seeds from our green bean plants.

Halloween 2014 with our neighborhood buddies!

We also went to a play called Rainbow Crow at
the stepping stone theatre with our
homeschool co-op.
The kids absolutely LOVED it and I vowed to
do more plays this year!
Matthew turned 10 this month with maturity and grace.
I on the other hand was surprised to find him in the double digits?!
 

This pretty much sums up our October 2014

until next time
