I decided to have Alex do the actual Louise Nevelson Found Sculpture project as well. I didn’t really have any small “lost/unused” items around in the house, so we ended up using things we had plenty of. 🙂 Since all these things were basically the […]

I love this flower painting project – it’s simple and quick and the result is bright and beautiful. I did have to remind Alex all the way to paint big. 🙂 He enjoyed this activity tremendously.

This week, we made Cheesy Ranch Chex Mix, Whole Wheat Double Fudge Brownies, and Wheat Thins. This was only the second time Alex had used a rolling pin but yet he was amazingly at ease with it. He did a great job rolling out the […]

Last Thursday, I decided to take a break from our regular homeschooling lessons and had a “Home Economics” class instead. Alex was absolutely happy about this because he got to do one of his favorite things – baking, while learning at the same time. We […]
