Monday co-op

Mondays are so special for us! I feel so blessed that my family does not have to experience the typical hectic Monday morning rush. I feel so blessed that we get to spend Mondays in the woods with people that we love - singing, laughing, hearing stories, and creating together. I'm sending out gratitude to the four corners of the Universe for this amazing opportunity to participate in our Waldorf co-op.

Willow and Indigo helped with getting the fire started on this chilly October morning...


We said our verses, sang, and heard the leaf story. Michael did a lovely job, and even captivated Nova with her wonderful story-telling...

Our craft today was so much fun! We traced leaves onto (already dry) watercolor paintings, cut them out, and taped them onto sticks. Some of the kids cut holes for eyes and had leaf masks. They had a leaf parade while we sang and played instruments...


Lunch!


We explored a new trail...




We found a nice persimmon tree, and had a little treat. The kids were climbing all over picking persimmons and eating them. They were as sweet as honey!




A few more beautiful pictures of the woods in Autumn.... (that middle one is a big beautiful Cat's Claw that we found on the trail)...



And some of my favorite wild women ever slipping and sliding down acorn hill...

What a joyful way to start the week!
