Because learning with a Kindergartener and First Grader is awesome

We are about five weeks in to our school year and it really is my favorite year so far. I mean ask me after the December burnout sets in, but that is how I feel right now. Some pictures and highlights…

Second day of school pictures:

The Buena Vista Museum of Natural History:

Nurturing my boy’s love of collecting things and connecting our lesson about archeology finding over 100 bottle caps by the Kern River:

And this hilarious exchange which followed during the car ride home…
“Remember how archeologists like trash?”
“Yeah, but they call it midden.”
“So what would archeologists think about what people did by our river if they dug by it and studied the trash?”
“People drink a lot of beer by the river!”

Cave paintings like nomads made only ours were on grocery bags:

My favorite Garden of the Theotokos art because it is so high sensory depicting Kolliva for Saturday, the day of the departed:

Hieroglyphics and cuneiform:

Henry loves to paint! Tagging along for “On the first day God created the light.”

Excavating mummies:

Sugar cube pyramids:

Henry surprising me by being incredibly well behaved and the sweetest big brother at the symphony:

Having fun with ‘dem bones, ‘dem bones:

Celebrating the end of five weeks of awesome with ice cream and time at our favorite park:
