Project Life 2014 Week 35: Close

I fell a week behind on Project Life but I'm burning the midnight oil catching up (on all things...not just picture taking). All things school related begin this week and I'll just be trying to keep a float as we transition into our new schedule. The boys, who have run wild all Summer doing as they please, are in for a bit of a surprise this week. I hope they love all the things we'll be learning at home and elsewhere. I have lots of meaningful posts swimming in my head that I want to put here to preserve memories. Be patient with me....I'll get to it.

Week 35: Close- Aiden and his cousins, Maddy and Teagan, are close. They ran wild every weekend together at the cabin. I know someday they'll grow up and their relationship will change somewhat, but I know they'll hold these memories of their childhood spent together in their hearts.
Close for Sage means up close and personal with one of the many toads that he catches and keeps for a pet (aka: victim) up at the cabin. Sage's Grandmothers are constantly trying to defend the toads he catches and encourage him to let the toads go back to their families. Eventually the toad does get away and it is usually before he squeezes them a little too much. The curiosity just can't be tamed.

LOL! Read Aiden's first on how it's personal relationships, then you keep reading and it's Sage with a frog. Too funny, love it.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
