Heart Stress-Test
describes the jumpings and flutterings my heart muscle did as I watched my youngest 2 race around this empty pool at the skateboard park. They raced, several times. I don't know why.
-watched from far away, on a balcony. Too far to shout to them.
too far to shout or get their attention. close enough to make my exit strategy:
- grab expensive camera
- grab purse
- run screaming down stairs
- until the worst happens, mutter to yourself as a mantra: "the children's emergency room is just across the street! ...at least they are wearing helmets, they won't break their heads!"
Discovery: some serious moves going on down there. Look, big brother is teaching baby sister the robot.
We had our Classical group class today.
For one of our Science activities we made plaster fossil moldings.
it was pretty cool.
and not as messy as I thought it would be.
For Fine Art, we studied a little about Fra Giovanni Angelico and the halos she painted in real gold. (Art Studies inspired by this* book)
Then we turned the kids loose with a little paint, some chalk, and some tin foil.
not gold...in case you were wondering.
Glad to report no war scenes today. We had a ballerina (my only girl student) a Bible, a light pole (I think) a paint-splatter modern-piece, and a fish with bright scales and bright bubbles.
Here is mine.
(take time to play school) :)
