My beautiful life.♡♥♡

wow ....
I know February is the shortest month but seriously this month has really flown by so very fast.

I was looking through my instagram photos earlier today and i felt so truly blessed.
I have such a beautiful life.I am honoured and full of gratitude that I get to see such beauty around me all the time.
we may not be well off ,we may be squished into this teeny house and Paul is still suffering healthwise and out of work.BUT I'm blessed with the ability to look beyond the material items and the financial situation and see the beauty and the awsome wonder that is in the every day.

My life is abundant in all the things that truly matter. My hands are full with these six babies of mine but my heart is fuller.

My house is fit to bursting but my home is full of life and music and art and laughter.

MY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
And incase you want proof ...take a peek. (follow me on instagram I'm Gemmalulupink )

Here's what my beautiful life has looked like over the past week as we  have been counting down days till  Easter, been learning about measurements of days gone by,studied famous artists, made catapults and balancing robots and read many a book .

Seeing stars (and squares too)

Today we have been folding  the watercolor and salt resistance paintings that we did yesterday in to beautiful stars.

It is really not as easy as it looks.Charlie and Eva did really well with the folding but when it came to the cutting and the gluing ....well even I struggled.
mind you the finished article is very pretty.its a craft project I'd like to try again one day without a baby reaching out to grab the paintbrush covered in glue.

Charlie and summer both asked for some "work" so I introduced them to squared numbers useing a lesson from grade three of waldorf essentials curriculum.

Eva enjoyed doing some more painting,I think she actually enjoyed stacking up the watercolor blocks more than creating a piece of art work!

We were really happy to get a visit from my sister Hayley this afternoon.She had just returned from christmas spent in Scotland and new year spent in Spain!
We listened as she told us all about her holiday and showed us photos.Eva was especially impressed with the photos from a zoo in Madrid.
she was playing with her Noahs ark at the time ,so hayley was able to show her how big these animals really are.
