What a great few days!† Kei had a production of sorts on Saturday night.† Our children’s theatre group was doing a little show called “Front Porch”.† It was mostly teenagers and adults but 2 girls danced and Kei did a monologue.† She did an amazing job!† Here it is.† It is about 2 minutes long. 🙂
She did it in a HUGELY Southern accent and it was so funny.
She has spent a lot of time this week working on her fairy houses.† She has made fairy houses since she was little.† Here is a picture of her at 6.† She still gets just as dirty!
She is building a entire city now.† Here is the hotel.
This is the restaurant complete with plates of food.
This is a delicious fairy treat she made with water and spearmint from our garden.
Liv spent the night and the girls had a blast as usual. There were plays to be put on, fairy houses to work on, knitting needle fights <fully supervised by me of course>, dress up and Liv went with us to Kei’s “Front Porch” and to church. Fun times.

She look so cute in her costume! Very Huck Finn-like.
I love to look at your pictures and see such joy on everyones face! I am hoping that I will see the same kind of joy on my girls faces in a few days. Public school begins here Monday and Grace is having a little bit of anxiety feeling like she won’t be able to spend hours with her friends anymore (she spent 7 hours outside playing today). I told her that has nothing to do with homeschooling but with the end of summer! Unlike her friends, she can still ride her bike, shoot baskets and swim during the day. Plus we will see our homeschool friends lots during the week and she can have her neighborhood friends after school and on the weekends. I am holding my breath hoping for a good start. I have to come up with a great plan for an outing on Monday!
Love it! looks like you had sooo much fun!! You are right, HOMESCHOOLING ROCKS!!!!

Of course people who would ask ‘when did you homeschool’ don’t understand the huge definition gap between schooling and learning in the first place.
