Lighting the Fire: Fall traditions

Our life in books

This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.

I love the path that God has us on.

We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.

In the past, we have enjoyed the 'MFW Adventures' and 'Exploring Countries and Cultures', and 'Creation to the Greeks',

Rome to the Reformation,

Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

1850's to MODERN TIMES !!

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.

There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.

Fall traditions

Every year, without fail, the kids and I go to a pumpkin patch and working farm. Sometimes more than once. It's just too fun to do just once.

This year, we went once in IL and once in CA so we got the full spectrum of activities. One of favorites is the corn maze and of course, the animals! We took a hay ride, climbed the hay pyramids and picked out some fabulous oversized pumpkins. All in a days' work.
