Riley and August playing chess and some purple irises.
We did a Van Gogh artist study and then did some painting inspired by his sunflowers! Our last language arts book of the school year was The Secret Garden and the kids just adored it. Riley went more that direction while we were painting. They loved talking about the characters and sometimes wanted to do the reading in our garden and pretend that it was the garden in the book. Riley loved the idea of finding the key and so she grabbed some tinfoil and made herself a skeleton key.

Some pictures from Marion during Kendra and Dave's wedding weekend! Just ones from around the house or of my kids at the wedding. I am saving the rest for Kendra and Dave to share as they would like to.

August loved his flower!
|
 |
He wanted a picture of it
|
More pictures from the garden and a quill that Riley and I made. She has been loving the Harry Potter books and we were studying revolutionary era America and she noticed a lot of quills! She really wanted to try one. We didn't do anything fancy for the ink just ground up charcoal from the firepit. I am sure something else would work better but it was easy and she is happy.
