Outdoor school

As part of a school at home week, my class ( 3 members) and I searched for a perfect quiet spot to feel apart of and record nature. One class member is sketching a beautiful landscape. Another has found a nursery log covered with moss and baby mushrooms. While the third sought the home of the creaking frog. We studied topsoil, erosion, maps, and orographic lifting.

A Time of Inspiration

As a relief society we are reading Jesus the Christ by early December. 

I have tried starting before but I always felt intimidated, losing motivation. 

This time, with the testimony and encouragement of friends, I have been surprised at how far I have gotten. I found it is easier than Isaiah, I love Isaiah. 

I have felt the spirit testify to me of Christ's life. I feel inspiration entering all parts of my life. I am thankful for friends who have encouraged me to take on this challenge to uplift my testimony. 

Stories! But Which One?

This boy has such a desire to do for himself. Dinner is served, but we cannot feed him with a spoon! A fork man, a fork is needed for the fine gentleman to stab at his grapes.
After dinner we did not push in the chairs fast enough. Papa's plate still had some good food on it and knowing it must not go to waste my little one climbed up to satiate his growing appetite. 

 

The vacuum is a wondrous tool that fascinates all children. Some to fear and others to fancy. Fancy is the leaning of this tale. Having watched his brothers countless times, he knew just what needed to be done to start the thing and when he could not budge it and the hose came off at his pulling he was afraid at first he had done wrong.  Finding the suction he merrily giggled and played at sucking his hands, face and clothes. So contagious was his laughter that I found I could not restrain myself and we both laughed heartily. He didn't suction air out of his lungs, but he did manage to clear his nose a bit. I doubt I will need to use the squeegee doohickey.  .
