Today our adventure began at the art museum. We did our schoolwork at home, then headed over for Abigail's drawing class.
Since there are LOTS of ducks directly across from the classroom, we planned ahead and brought a loaf of bread. Abigail named this white duck AFLAC (from the insurance commercials).
She had a great time feeding her new friends (and I did too). At times she got a little nervous because they were pretty aggressive in trying to get the bread from us. I assured her that they would not actually attack her....if only she'd just give them the bread they want, they'd be quite happy.After our bread ran out, we grabbed a quick bite and headed to a homeschool store in search of some good used books. We hit the jackpot:) Abigail found Old Yeller AND Lassie and I found several biographies on her level as well as the teacher's edition for fourth grade math at a really REALLY good deal.
We got home and have been doing things around here. I cleaned out my freezer and got rid of LOTS of stuff, as I came across a person who had a need and we definitely had excess. I have supper going and will soon be heading out to shop at a children's consignment sale. Hopefully I'll find the denim skirt, black skirt, fleece zip up jacket and star wars costume on Abigail's list:)

Sounds like a great day! I need to look into the drawing classes. Haley has asked if she can take an art class since we won't let her to horseback again (too dangerous).
We have really enjoyed the art classes at the art museum as well as the ones at Creative Learning Connection. CLC's classes are a 'one time' deal where you start a finish a project in one class. The HMA's classes are more ongoing and include some art history as well. Abigail has enjoyed both and has connected with the instructors at both classes I think. HMA's are a bit more 'demanding' but she is also at the young end of the age range (9-13 year olds).
