Little Boy Moments!

Tonight's pictures are ones that I took yesterday and today. I thought that it was so sweet the way that Elijah brought Isaac over yesterday morning for Isaac's school time. Elijah stayed and helped Goosey grind meat after that, while Isaac had his school time with me. Isaac is showing us a "yellow triangle" after he completed a shape puzzle. Then the fourth picture shows Elijah with his very first sewing project. As he was sitting there learning how to sew on the sewing card, he said that he could hardly wait till his second sewing project. He ran over to show his mommy as soon as he finished it. He came back and wanted to know what his second project would be and I told him that it would be one of the other sewing cards. He immediately said upon hearing that, "I'm going home, then!" Hmmmm wonder how sewing will go with him. He had been wanting to sew like his older siblings so I had finally decided that sewing cards would fill the bill for the moment for him...well, guess he only does one for it to be a project (projects are something different time for his siblings)...guess Grammy had better choose her words better! Joy and Esther each read to me for a while this morning. Then it was time for the four oldest to come over for art. We talked about different kinds of lines today and then they drew pictures of different kinds of weather situations depicting whether the weather was calm or stormy, etc. by the types of lines they used. After art, Abigail had her sewing time. She began cutting out her skirt. She has one more piece to cut out and then she can get started on sewing it together. Graham spent some time after he finished his school work and continued to organize his K'nex to be put away during Christmas. The boxes are ready to be taken to the garage to store for the holiday season. Graham has quite a shiner. Last night when he was emptying the compost from their house after supper, it was a bit darker than usual due to the time change and when he was running back to his yard, he came in contact with the guy wire that runs from the ground to the telephone pole. It knocked him flat and now he has a very "pretty" eye! Woody spent some time today blowing leaves...the big job of the season has begun!
