September

Our Fall has been so full of good things that I thought I should go back and take a little time to write it down before it leaves our collective memories!

 Our AHG troop year came back in to full swing.  Katie led a night full of butterflies and caterpillars to represent the Chrysalis theme that all AHG troops have been offered this year.  There were videos, crafts, library books, and snacks, all based around it.  Justin's favorite AHG uniform is the little red vests, and we have one of those again, after the three years since Gabby moved up from that one.

Since I tend to be the photographer, and Justin is the one to attend almost all Trail Life things, here is Nate heading off to a meeting!  They have been busy too.  They have completed two branch pins completely this fall with a couple more in the works.  Nate has been working on his Worthy Life (religious recognition) and his Timberline (an award that comes at the end of the elementary years).  The Timberline won't be completed this year, but he has started on the goal setting portion.

 Of course there is lots of reading going on around here.  I think Nate has Wind in the Willows here.

 Math

 A poetry tea...or hot cocoa as the case may be

The Screwtape Letters was assigned reading this fall...no complaints around here about that one, unlike The Great Gatsby, which was not her favorite!

 We had our annual Nation Day of Service for AHG too.  And no one fell in any storm drains!  We had a beautiful day to do it, and a cute little brother who took a walk with mom as we were working.
