Friday Waldorf Co-op

An amazingly beautiful day!

Wildlife in abundance.

Large black rat snake.

Tiny northern water snake.

and this beauty:

~ make that two beauties ~

~ question mark butterfly ~

A quick funny story.

When I identified her

one of the mommas thought

I was calling it a question mark 

because I didn't know what it was.

Silly momma.

Why do you think 

my brain is so foggy?

It is filled with random

lepidopteran knowledge.

The our Late Spring Rhythm

features the story of the Ugly Duckling.

 I told it, nervous at first, 

but quickly had fun with it!

We decided to move craft after lunch.

The kids ended up playing for a while

before coming back for craft.

I think it was positive change.

Our craft this week was making paper flowers.

I recycled old wet-on-wet watercolor paintings

by cutting out lots of hearts.  

Then punch holds in the point - a petal!

Thread a button onto a pipecleaner.

~ some of my button collection ~

Thread on plenty of petals (biggest first)

and then cap it off with another button.

Fan the petals out and admire!

~ laurel ~

What happened to all the babies?!  

They are getting too big!

Look at this cutie, melting my heart.

Favoring her youngest big brother, I do believe!

~ say it isn't so! ~

And how about this heart-breaker?

~ melt! ~

After lots of playing in the creek

it's time to circle round for a grounding story.

~ little cloud and lady wind ~

I treasure these special times

with amazing friends in a beautiful natural space.

Truly these families are a gift!

in gratitude,
