it's been a busy week



made popovers for the first time from this book
requests for more of these later
we've made several recipes from it and they've all been yummy


 field trip to local art museum to see robots




then we built our own


 there was a bit of indignitude because we weren't allowed to hot glue our own robots
homeschoolers don't like those kinds of safety rules. safety shmafety.
 they had a great 'tot' area that all my kids loved




we also went to a beautiful nativity celebration with so many nativities displayed
 
i loved how the wise men are leaning in toward the baby

and the expressions on joseph and mary's face

this nativity is so graceful and lovely.

 but this one was my favorite. mom, can you guess why?
but i like our stable better

 i've never seen anything like this but i love the idea

 there were some activities for the little ones including a dress up stash that the boys loved

  well, all the under 10s loved

later, he set up our playmobil nativity
