Thanksgiving crafts

Here are a few things we did for Thanksgiving during the start of November.

Dorian's writing

Right now he loves writing and also is very into numbers and money.
He will sit for hours (if we let him!) on the computer looking for different kinds of money.

Little shutterbug

Autumn

Kaitlyn's on the left and Dorian's on the right.

Dorian and Kaitlyn the little girl we watch got to paint candle boxes the other day with a leaf on them and we talked about Autumn and the changes it brings.
They love them and they came out beautifully as you can see.

Writing!

Wow, in the past 2 weeks Dorian has really picked up writing all his letters.
He gets magazines, books or really anything with words on it.. he even pauses our TV to write things down that he sees on the TV! I just cant believe how fast he picked up writing all the letters of the alphabet. He is amazing. I will post photos of his work soon.

Hard at work

Here is Dorian building away.

New friends

Here is a praying mantis we found outside on the swing.
Dorian enjoyed watching him, we have never seen one here at the house before.
We let him go "back to his family'' as Dorian says.
We also found a very pretty moth. Then we watched a squirrel run across the power line in front of our house. We get alot of them running past.

Dorian was being very quite in his playroom and this is what we found!!

Look at this!!!!! We already knew he is a genius. I would love to see inside his little brain!
He even got his camera and took a photos as you can see.

Learning

Here is our board with the day and also what Dorian wants to hang up that he has done.
That picture is from Tuesday when we talked about mum's and all the different jobs mum's do.
That is a picture of me with the cash register at the coffee shop, my arm is by the cash register and that building is the coffee shop!
Dorian doing fit-a-space, he likes it alot.

Not back to school!!

Dorian's little seedlings that grandma gave him!

I guess thats what homeschooler celebrate instead of the "back to school".
We did not take a summer break like some people, we just keep doing his Pre K and some Kinder learning throughout the summer. We will continue with the same Calvert curriculum, Dorian really likes it and is doing very well. And of course we will be taking alot of field trips to places around here.

Riiibbbiiittt.... riiiiibiiitttt...

I was taking the clothes off the line a few nights ago and look at what I found on a towel!
We have not seen a frog forever, we always hear them but never see them.
We brought it in for holding and then let it go back home. He played dead when we let him go and just sat there in "shock" I think from the patting from Dorian and us looking at him.
Finally after alittle nudge from Ash he went off into our pool.

Ladybugs

Dorian found a ladybug the other day swimming in our pool, he just loves ladybugs.
He talked to him for awhile, asked him about his travels and where he was headed to after the dip in the pool. He then put him back in his little potted plant he has outside that he puts all his bugs in to be a "family".

Shark boy

Today we had some nice weather. Dorian was up until 3am (he napped 1.5 hours in the arvo) so slept until 10am! haha..ummm is that funny?! Ash took him to the park to play and then when they got home we got to play in the pool again! Dorian was excited to play in it and we had alot of fun.

Note to self: Never let him nap!

Sometimes I wonder...

Here Dorian is lining up all toys on aluminum foil.. yes, aluminum foil.
This was a huge ordeal, lining them up and then wanting to tape the sides so he could carry the entire thing around (it was too big and the tape kept riping off the aluminum foil.) So it led to him having a melt down over not being able to do what was set in his mind. But, I thought it was something I wanted to keep in the memory bank.

One of Dorians favorite things to do..

He loves to line up things. Here are some photos of what he has done recently.
One of hand towels, he had to line them up before folding them and then some shells and rocks we got at the beach he lined up around the table. He has to have everything just perfect.

Farm

Here we all are together at one of our hot spots we like to go to.
We call it the "farm" but its a local produce stand with a cute lil farm with a few animals.
Dorian LOVEs going and feeding the animals.
