Wow. What a week.
Cooking rained out on account of a flooded house at our dear cooking friends.
Kindergarten assistance in the classroom for Lucy.
Sewing instruction for the other kids after a walk over to the upholsterer for some fabric scraps and a discussion on abundance.
A walk through South Austin's rock and roll car museum right next door to Austin Amp where we were all blown away by the collection. Mind boggling to me.
Writing project for the Day of the Dead altars the kids will be making to honor their grandparents.
Golf on Thursday a.m.
Math with Kenny on Thursday afternoon.
The kids went to the Town Hall meeting on the state of Lake Travis and the drought and though it was an interesting topic, the dry language left them a little fatigued.
Farm on Friday, pulling weeds, rounding up goats, adding up feed costs, mulching, discussing organics vs. non, the benefits of mulching, beneficial bugs, bad bugs, sweet peppers vs. hot peppers.
And a little babysitting in the week too for Lucy which she loves - both for the kids she gets to tend and the money she gets to make.
But aside from the logistics and the curriculum and the schedule, what I have realized is that for the most part life is stress free for our 6th grader. She is happy, satisfied, challenged and loving all the things she's learning. How's that for a 6th grade experience??
