October Pictures
During their "off" time from their year=round schooling schedule, Tony took the children to visit Laura and Shane in Miami.  If you'd like to see their pictures (and a couple of videos), please visit Tony's website:  http://picasaweb.google.com/Tony.Zerbolio/Florida2009#
They stayed with me for a couple of days when they got back from FL and we went to Pumpkinland, the park, and they made a couple of miniature scenes. 
Then we had lunch at McDonalds!  Then, onward to the park.
One day they worked on a mini Halloween Scene.
Jaden's Finished Scene
Kira's Finished Scene
Kira also did this little scene in a Christmas mailbox.  The lower right corner has a "snow angel" she wanted to make in the snow.
On another day, Kira wanted to make a Thanksgiving Dinner scene.  So we collected some things for dinner and she put together this little scene.  There is a cat by the left table leg, and two kittens playing on the right of the table.  There is a Candyland game on the floor.
Jaden wanted to do a Mt. Rushmore Scene, so I printed off a picture of Mt. Rushmore, and he "planted" the trees and the greenery.
Kira wanted to make a Valentine's Scene.  I had a heart-shaped box I gave her and she covered the table with heart fabric, put a little doll in a red dress on the chair and valentines, candy and a bag with hearts on the table.  She put a pink box that says "Happy Valentine's Day" with a pink bear in the box.  She added a dog and a cat.  Sorry the picture isn't too great.  There is a sign that says "Happy Valentine's Day" on the wall.
We had a lot fo fun making these mini projects.
