around home

We spent most of last week making jellies and jams and juices from apples, peaches, and a heap of grapes from a generous friend. We also 'started' school... a little unofficially because, lets face it, we had nothing together. The end of August was a sneaky little bugger. So we did a few lesson in this, cracked open a new binder for that... Then along came Tuesday with our Hunger Games special edition dvd in the mail. Wednesday was automatically declared Possible Future (If-the-World-really-goes-down-the-Tubes) Studies Day. Because, hey, we're homeschooled. And these informal days during the first week of school are kinda to make up for the fact that snow days for us mean extra school ('cause there's no escaping.)
