Back to Homeschool...

The decision was made three weeks into the school year that the best decision for our family at this time would be to homeschool our son for his Fourth Grade year.

 

So I broke out the painting I’ve displayed in the past when I’ve homeschooled the girls. It’s always been up, but I re-absorbed it as I made lesson plans for the week. The artist is my Brother-in-Law. He’s become quite a sought-after artist. Rumor is that he didn’t much like this one. But I chose it for the dappled light on the roof of the schoolhouse.

I really like it.

 

(…looks like my watermark is across the actual painting. A crazy illusion, is all!)

Day Two Hundred Seventy Four

 

I guess, when you’re in High School, Fridays after school are the perfect time for a floor nap...

Gracie's Nap

Day Two Hundred Seventy Three

 

I made the dress for a practice session I’m doing Saturday.

It’s blue. A bit out of focus. And, apparently from the picture, linty.

Day Two Hundred Seventy Two

 

I began today walking in the fog with my son and the Bruno...

B&B walk

 

Before it was over, I had made a dress. I miss sewing!

Day Two Hundred Seventy One

 

I lost a lot of the momentum I had gained from my Summer walking routine.

This day and this image represents me,

Doing what I don’t feel like doing...

 

Sometimes, that’s all a day needs to accomplish!

Walkin' Shoes

Day Two Hundred Seventy

 

I did a super-fun session yesterday with family.

I’m taking my time processing it since I’m learning and I want to do it right.

But I ended up with some “outtakes”. Here are a couple...

My biggest practice session yet...

I can’t wait to process the rest!

Day Two Hundred Sixty Eight

 

Go Ducks!!

Oregon won! I can’t find the score, but it’s true.

From the other day (but processed today)...

Aww... Gus 

She wanted an edgy “Sweeny Todd” sort of shot...

It’s hard to look fierce when a kitty snuggles you.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Six

 

We delivered our oldest daughter to her new dorm room on an appropriately grey day. Her room this year is a vast improvement from the tiny old one she was in last year.

This is her window...

O Window

Here’s her view.

The lights from historic Hayward field are in the distance and the volleyball court is right under her window.

If you look across the courtyard, you can see her room from last year.

I want to be there.

After the move, we had lunch at Dickie Jo’s (why does everyone giggle?)

At the end of a dark, melancholy (but super fun) day, the sunset made an appearance in the rearview mirror. Wrap Thursday!
