Homeschool Mother's Journal/Weekly Wrap-Up November 9

Another week gone!  Just don't know where the time is going.  :-)

It has been another busy, fun and productive week for the 4 Kiddos.

Last Saturday, we had our monthly 4H meeting.  My children are really just loving everything about 4H.  I am so glad!  It is hands-on, educational and fun.  After the meeting, we had the first of three cooking classes. It is being taught by a dear friend (who told us about 4H!), which makes it all the better.




The kids made meat and vegetarian chili as well as coffee cake.  It was a productive and delicious afternoon!



The rest of the week consisted of schoolwork- older Kiddos working hard on their Algebra II and younger Kiddos starting a new Chemistry and Physics book.  They are just loving the fun, hands-on experiments.  A review is coming soon.  :-)  Kiddo #4 made us brownies and we raked up leaves, enjoying the beautiful fall weather.  They are calling for more than a foot of snow this coming week, so I'm glad we enjoyed the mild weather when we did!





On Friday (I will post lots more pics and a post describing all about it), we went on a field trip to a place called the Peter Wentz Farmstead.  What an amazing gem practically in our own backyard!  The house was built in the mid 1700s and served as Washington's headquarters during the Battle of Germantown.  How awesome is that!  Ok, I admit that I had goosebumps standing in the room where Washington stayed.  It is truly amazing living in this area of the country.  So much history!







What we are looking forward to:
4H Teen activities on Saturday
Veterans' Day- come back to see the post I will share.  It will touch your heart!
Snow, snow, snow!  :-)

Congratulations on you nominations! Your farmstead trip sounds amazing and I must admit I'm a little envious. I can only imagine standing in a place where Washington stood. I felt that way when I went to Independence Hall
Checking out your punctuation printable next. Thanks for linking up at "This Week"
