Paper craft is messy. No matter how old you are it can be worse than glitter. But Ode To Joy!!! We have been doing paper crafts all week! AND - Oh yeah! - I baked bread WITH A FIVE YEAR OLD!!!
We still have no running water - the house is a complete mess. Our free time grown up effort has be focused on securing and battening down the out door storage for winter. - and instead of popping my kids in front of a movie so I could frantically clean the house * a much bigger job with no water* WE OWN THIS PLACE!!! And we have no neighbors for miles or landlord to randomly show up and criticize my skillz of a homemaker! So I am allowed to let the house be messy and just play with my kids! * I mean "educate' my kids... we are very serious about education.... tee hee*
So - yes - we did lessons like the board says to do - but then we just dedicated so many hours for making tissue paper backed snowflakes to hang on the window! It was a blast. So here are the pics of yesterdays school. Bask in the simpleness- and my messy messy house.

| So messy and yet - so joyful! The children do not see any mess - and when my mister comes home -the children direct his eyes to the art and projects they did and he smells fresh baked bread! How can this not be good!?!? |

| We used tinfoil pans to mix the dough and other more smaller pans to bake them in. The recipe is for the Harvest Bread activity for ArchAngel Micael from Childrens garden of Theotokoshttp://anaphorapress.com/music/education/orthodox-curriculum |
