Fall 2011

I've failed to document all of the fun activities we did this fall! So, here goes the pics to prove we stayed busy and had fun doing so!!!


Our Classical Conversations Trussville group :)

A little fun math competition in our Essentials class

Chesney learning to paint a Picasso self-portrait
in art class with CC friends.

The class self-portraits :) 

Britton got to shoot the water hose!
Field trips, co-op classes, drama, family
time and football kept us busy this fall!

Our Community Helpers
CO-OP 






This is a project that we started in September! It has blessed us all far more than I realized it would! It has been so beautiful to watch a child's anger melt away in an instant when we find something to be thankful for in the hard moment.



Our 1000 gifts Thanksgiving Family Project
(based on the book 1000 gifts by Ann Voloskamp)
Daily each kid finds 7 things to be thankful for.
We share them aloud at dinner time.





A day at the Great Pumpkin Patch with our dear friends! 





A zoo day with friends :)



Our first family BAMA game! 

Chesney began taking pics half way through the game.
She wanted "silly" pics. 

Halloween at Tannihill State Park
Britton the Ninja
Chesney the Cowgirl
Cade the Red Power Ranger
Our first time to camp at Tannihill State Park. This will
now be a Best family Halloween Tradition.
Camping, fall festival, and trick or treating all in one trip!! 


This was an RV transformed into The Pirates of the Caribbean Ship
complete with Jack Sparrow!
She's really not sure what to think about these two....
Breakfast silliness at the campsite

Our CC field trip to Alabama Frontier Days
A very loud musket was fired the moment this pic was snapped!


Britton with Davy Crockett


Chesney with the Indians

She was playing the tin whistle!!
We've been learning the tin whistle at CC. After listening to her play,
we all realized that we have a-lot-a practicing to do!
My sweet Cade man!

Our first Drama: Go West
Britton was a railroad man

Chesney was a Cowpoke
This pic was after the little guy behind her kept hitting her hat purposefully.
We were really shocked she didn't turn around and deck him!


That wraps up our favorite fall activities. We had a blast at them all! Im so very thankful that the Lord has
called us to homeschool. Its far better than I ever could've imagined!!
