Camping School Room

Often I am asked, "How do you Home School while Camping"


And I Answer, "You build your own School House of course"

This is a Canopy that has walls and screen walls.

With lots of bars and cross bars to attach signs...

And Stars...

Our School Arms (Trinity Made this)....

We have an Owls Nest...

Pumpkins and Witches...

And little people getting ready for Halloween.

We keep our school supplies in plastic bins. And pencils, scissors and what nots on the table in baskets. As the seasons change and our School House changes I will post photos. Maybe I will have better lighting then. Our wish list for our School House is a chalk board, carpet and a good heater.

Trinity at Play

What is Trinity up too?

I hear her sweet voice...she kind of squeaks when she talks...its so cute

She sure is busy behind that tree...

OH, I hear her know...she is singing...

I have been spotted...and receive a friendly invitation to come join her...

A fairy House...

Dishes...

Flooring...

Food...

Decorations...

Natural Play

My little girl is a very physical being...she likes to fully experience things. And when it rains she loves to be out in it. She is especially fond of the down spout...it pours out into our dirt driveway and makes a river. I got to take quite a few photo's before she realized I was near.

Poem to Mud

Poem to mud -
Poem to ooze -
Patted in pies, or coating the shoes.
Poem to slooze -
Poem to crud -
Fed by a leak, or spread by a flood.
Wherever, whenever, whyever it goes,
Stirred by your finger or strained by your toes,
There's nothing sloppier, slipperier, floppier,
There's nothing slickier, stickier, thickier,
There's nothing quickier to make grown-ups sickier,
Trulier coolier,
Than wonderful mud.
-Zilpha Keatley Snyder

What a beauty...

Mama Pride Shelf

This shelf rest above my kitchen sink and proudly displays my children's work. At first I didn't know what to do with all these lovely objects.
The kids and I were very excited when we found a community center near by that offered such wonderful classes as pottery, yoga, drama, art, piano and much more. They even have an adult pottery class, I sit in envy knitting as I wait for my children...the ladies trickle in coffee in one hand, work bag in the other. As they gather in the room down the hall I hear them admiring a piece someone has brought in. Maybe this fall I will be able to join in. Though I do sit with my own coffee finishing up some hand made treat for someone I love. And I know I have my shelf of color made just for me.

Sorry this photo is a little dark...it was an overcast day filled with much needed rain.

Swing It Girl

The Swing
by Robert Louis Stevenson

How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside-

Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown-
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

McKinney Campground - Trailer Trash Tuesday

Taking a break from the monotony of getting a house ready to sell was just the thing we needed.

We plan on living in the "Big Bear" (our Travel Trailers Name) for awhile during and after the house gets sold. How long? We don't know. But we sure do enjoy our Bear.

Lake McKinney was a Gem.








As you can see the kids are just loving the idea.



















Alex and Trinity got very busy at the beach. Holes were dug, castle built and swimmers turned into sea serpents and mermaids.







We Spent Four Nights and it seemed much too short. But we will be out and about in the Bear soon...Loving every minute of it.

Trinitys Piano Recital

Trinity is our little pianist...she loves to play. She has an electric Piano at home but gets to learn on this pretty black one at lessons.

She was as cool as a cucumber and played "Merrily We Roll Along". We took her out for dessert afterwards. She has on the pillow dress I made her...she wanted to wear it just for this occasion.
