Earth Day Birthday!

Joseph is three months old today--
Earth Day 2014
Such a happy little one!

Woody walked four miles early this morning. He also puttered around in the yard.  School started out with Esther reading to me.  Then Joy came over to read.  Then Graham, Abigail, Joy and Esther had Earth Day art.  I had a recycle bag in the middle of the school room and once they got here I dumped all the "stuff" out.  It was all stuff that either we recycle or things that we might have thrown away and they used these items to make a picture.  I think that it was a success! Here's part of what they had to choose from:

Graham is adjusting the high waterfall in his creation.  Quite a bit of glue and tape was used...but most of what went into the pictures were things that could have been considered trash.  Joy kept singing a recycle song that she knows.  After the art, Abigail had her sewing time with me.  After lunch Isaac and then Elijah came over for a short time of school.  I rested for a little while and then made a new recipe: Banana Bran Muffins.  Woody just returned a few minutes ago from his walk to and from the Prayer Room at church.
