September Recap

Hello there. Did you know it is now October? Seriously?!? What happened to September? It was just here, I know it was, I even have photos to prove it. Maybe I should share a couple of my favorite ones with you today and I can finish Part 2 of Our Summer Fun later.

Last week I was sitting across the table from my ever-so-diligent student as we worked on her language arts work. I was reading aloud and she was supposed to be following along. In my peripheral vision, I noticed a lot more movement than was required for silent reading and looked up to see what she was doing. I was totally ready to quiz her on what "we" were just reading when I saw this.

I have to say I never got the "quiz" questions asked. I was too busy giggling. :o) This one definitely keeps things interesting.

One of our first days of school was quite chilly, so we had to have some hot cocoa. Of course, hot cocoa is always better with marshmallows, sprinkles, and doodles. Do you notice the notebook on the table? She has one of these in every color we could find. She's named our home school, HGU--Henderson Glitter University.

Most of the other pictures I took last month were of scenery, because, honestly, I can't help myself. It's just too beautiful this time of year not to.

Do you remember the trees from my Garden Love post? This is what they looked like about a week ago. It's been raining the last few days so I think a lot of the leaves from the yellow tree are gone now.

I can't finish the September post without introducing you to our newest family member. Meet Smokey. Michelle's friend's cat had 4 kittens and we decided this one needed to come live with us.

We're still having some issues between him and his canine siblings, oh, and the fact that he's a MAJOR distraction to school work, but all in all, he seems to be settling in with us just fine.

Yep, I think they're going to be the best of friends.

I'm going to close this here. Michelle is almost done with her school work for the day and we've got an apple pie to go make. Yum!

Till next time...

God's love and blessings!
