This week, I went on a field trip with Hannah's class to Agua Hedionda Lagoon to learn about Native Americans. The kids rotated through different stations to learn about the Luiseno tribe that used to live in that area.

The kids learned to basket weave,

make pictographs on rocks,

brand leather (like they would brand cows), identify medicinal uses for the native plants, and kill a (stuffed) rabbit with a rabbit stick. 

They even had a descendant of the Luiseno people come talk to the group. Hannah loves when I go on field trips with her class so we had a great day together!

Hannah and Ellie switched hairstyles for church one day. I curled Hannah's hair and straightened Ellie's hair.

I mentioned this summer that the girls found Art for Kids Hub on YouTube and spent hours drawing pictures. Well, Ellie has continued to add to her collection of cute little pictures. Now they are taking over her room! She draws almost every day! We have a budding artist on our hands...

It's fun to see her so into drawing!

Wow! I didn't realize how behind I am in my blogging, but I found this post that I started working on and never finished. So here's some random pictures from October!

My parents got a new kitten named Piper. She's so darling, and Ellie of course loves cuddling with her.
