An Eclectic Homeschool Journal

Smug Zachary. He's made the leap from toddler to pre-schooler. He was feeling pretty good in this picture because he had just had been trusted to take pictures with the good camera. (Some of which are below) 

A sad girl. Zachary was shooting pictures and Esther didn't get a turn.  

Joshua poses next to his cherry tomato plant. His is the largest and best looking cherry tomato of the four we are growing. His flowers, also in the same bed, were doing well too until little Esther pulled them out. :) 

Kate smiling proudly next to her flower bed. A couple months ago this space with just grass and rocks. She's been responsible for picking out the flowers and taking care of them. There is even a tomato plant behind the yellow flowers. Kate has one more bed of flowers that she is working on and is currently planning what to put in her vegetable garden. 

Kate's turn with the drum. This picture was actually taken by 3-year-old Zachary. 

Lately Joshua has been spending time singing, dancing, and working out rhythm. A big step from the days when any music sent him screaming "You're hurting my ears!". Here he's experimenting with the play drum. Earlier in the week he had been playing with sound with the pots and pans and lids. :) 

Kate and Josh playing on the straw bales. These will soon be the target for Josh's archery practice, but for now, they're just fun to climb on.
