Today we hung out with
the Szymczaks. Sarah is a mom who I'm getting to know recently. She home-schools 3 children wonderfully and does a ton of amazingly creative crafts (sewing, knitting, etc). We went to her house mid morning and joined their natural walk. Zoe is a future biologist: she got busy finding mushrooms and identifying plants. We had a fun time exploring in the wood. Andy got his first bee sting but he was a trooper. Zoe found a plantain plant and helped putting the leave on Andy's stung finger to sooth the pain. It was pretty effective. I did not know about plantain leave's
medicinal use before.
We then had snack and participated in the arts & crafts session. The kids made lanterns out of canning glass jars and colorful tissue paper.
Lunch was a full spread of yummy homemade dishes. They made a honey multigrain bread together the day before. The pumpkin soup and squash carrot casserole were filled with the fall season flavor. After lunch we headed to the Children's Museum in Everett. The kids all loved that. I enjoyed talking with Sarah learning about homeschooling and her teaching philosophy.
After we got home, Andy and I worked on the take-home halloween project form the museum.
Tonight I was inspired by Sarah: made bread with Andy and put some craft supplies on the shopping list :-) . Spending time with them was not only fun but also left me feeling cozy, peaceful and inspired.
