Various Happenings

I have not been very good lately about updating the blog on a regular basis. I get so tired at night these days all I want to do is climb into bed. I can't believe I only have 4 more months to go before our baby girl is here. It is so wonderful to feel her growing inside my belly. She is becoming very active, esp in the evening. I am also staring to realize the limitations of my belly - my husband had to help me tie my shoes the other day, I could not get to them : )

We have been pretty busy here. Even when we are just home, Ryan can find enough to do to make it feel like a full day. Lately he has been into taking the couch apart and making various things out if it. Such as a boat, pyramid, drum,ect. He has even taught Heidi to walk on the treadmill. As much as I love his imagination and energy there are some days when I just want my couch back.

Here is the homemade drumset:


This past weekend we went to a Holiday Fair at the local Waldorf school. Ryan made some crafts while Sage played soccer in the play yard. It was so cold that day, I decided to hang out in the craft area. It was a nice fair and my friend had a booth there - so we stopped by to say hello.

We also finally made a bird feeder. Unfortunately the birds do not seem to like it. The squirrels do not mind it though.
Ryan made this wonderful snack for us all by himself. He cut out the center of the bread and used it as a border for the fruit.


Our last Nature Class for the Fall. We met with the art instructor and the kids did some watercolor paintings. It was fun and we can not wait for the winter session.

The Naturalist working with the older kids had made his own drop spindle - cool!!
