My Charlotte Mason Moment



Charlotte Mason is a homeschool method based from a woman in the 1800's named...Charlotte Mason (how's that for a deep-thought provoking sentence). Anyhow her method in brief is great novels, short, focused lessons, art, music, handiwork, narration, copywork, and nature study. Love the nature study part- hardly ever get to it. Yesterday was a beautiful day so I decided to read to the kids outside under my favorite tree which blooms for about 1 week a year. I decided since I was posting pictures of the tree I would find out what kind it is. After 20 minutes tracking it down on the computer here it is.

Golden-chain tree is a stunning, small tree noted for its long, pendulous clusters of flowers. A member of the pea family, Laburnum x Watereri is a hybrid cross between the common and Scotch laburnum.

Do I have to tell the kids what I learned for it to be counted as schooling? I've discovered one of the great things about teaching homeschooling is how much I'm learning.
And aren't you in awe of my 3 posts in 2 days? And the figuring out the pictures? My next project might be adding links.

I love the this picture. It was taken about 20 seconds after the first picture but it had all gone completely crazy in those few seconds. Check out Sam screaming. And the next picture is here cause it's just such a cute picture of the 2 of them.
