Field Trips

We love field trips. It gets very warm here every couple of weeks, so we go when the other kids are in school. We were some of the only people in the zoo this past Tuesday.

Chrysler Museum of Art

Last week, we went to the art museum in downtown Norfolk. It is free and has a little bit of everything, from ancient Egyptian artifacts to modern art. We did the entire museum. I was surprised that they didn't get tired. I was wearing Ingrid AND my wooden clogs, so this was also my workout for the week. I had them find the one piece of artwork that spoke to them so that we could take a picture with it and re-create it at home. Evan chose a European painting that showed arches and columns, which he is totally into in his Building History class at our co-op. Amelia chose a glass cat from the Victorian parlor exhibit. We had to tour the entire museum several more times to find it again, lol. Below is their artwork and their (blurry) inspirations.

Homeschool Blogging

The focus of my life has switched from life with twins to life with three kids on a homeschoolong adventure. I will be talking about that more now that Ingrid is older and I have a bit more time. Just a bit :).
