I added another portion to our rundown of what we do - educational games! I don't know how I missed adding that before. We consider games to be one of the fun, hands-on things that we do.
I prepared a special presentation on the 4 Levels of Scholar Phase that I shared with my husband and kids this week. It was an eye-opener to me to study this part of Leadership Education and really think about where we all are in these levels. For more, see my post on the 4 Levels of Scholar Phase.

- Projects - (1) Sewing aprons with the girls - but had some glitches since our sewing machine broke. I am trying to borrow one. (2) Quilting 9-square patterns - we started on this project and plan to work on it for a few weeks. We plan on each of us finishing our own 9-square and making one big quilt. I have saved clothes and things that we hope will make a nice memory quilt. Again, we are looking to borrow a sewing machine to finish.
