PT Art: da Vinci























I taught da Vinci in his class.  We drew our own inventions with colored pencils and then I taught them how to make paper helicopters that really fly.  It was a hit.  And...after I left they got them taken away because they couldn't keep them in their desks. 

So it goes.  It was fun while it lasted.

Billy Goat Trail

 It was a beautiful day so we decided to try hiking Billy Goat Trail.  It's not really hiking...it's more like rock scrambling / climbing.    The views were breathtaking.  We can't wait to go back and do it all over again.

4th Grade Field Trip



Early in the morning I packed the yummy treats that I made and woke my excited boy.  We drove to the school while the moon was still in the sky.  We met his boisterous classmates in the school cafeteria to wait for the chartered bus to Jamestown and Williamsburg. 

After we boarded, a girl behind us shouted, "This bus is sooo cool...you can even poop on it!" 

It was a whirlwind trip!























These two pals resting their tired feet on a wooden bench in Williamsburg.  The light was spectacular.

Samhain 2014

May the nourishment of the earth be yours.
May the clarity of light be yours.
May the fluency of the ocean be yours.
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow wind work
These words around you
As an invisible cloak to guard your life. - John O'Donohue























This year our boy transformed into a Boxtroll
