So, there are a lot of spelling errors in this post. I am using a tablet and I am technically challenged. I cannot seem to figure out how to see what I am typing...
Our tree is up. And I am pretty amused by the ridiculousness of the Christmas tree in the house of a toddler. We had a small reprieve, but we are back now to mostly ornaments on the top. Also, there are not actually enough branches to hold all of our ornaments. I like making ornaments...so we may need to focus on giving them away this yezr.
And, on Friday we celebrated Santa Lucia Day, in fairly ridiculous fashion. We made buns, and Elsa brought them to us in bed. Then we read a book about Saint Lucy, and Elsa wrote an acostic poem an painted a picture. The kids also wanted to make costumes, so, crafty mama that I am, I cut a hole in an old curtain for Elsa, and we tied a sash around her waist. David was a star boy. The book did not explain the custom, but David was into it. He made a conical white hat, w(out of construction paper) with penciled stars, and glued a piece of paper with stars on it to a big stick. Then we went to our neighbors and brought buns and sang Santa Lucia kind of lamely. David has been pretty insistent about wearing hi starboy costume at all times, which is sweet, although it is a little odd looking and I have to resist explaining the whole thing in detail to everyone we meet, because, well, it might look a little Klan like... This week we are mostly going to work on finishing up Christmas presents. Elsa is making a book of poetry. Also a calendar to give away. I am not sure what to have David do.
I am feeling, as I often do, to get more Waldorfy in our homeschool, but I keep going off in weird directions. I tried the Oak Meadow curriculum, but could not seem to stick with it. Anybody know any good curricula?
