In our study of world geography this year, we reached the country of India. Up until this point, whenever we've studied a country, we've done things like make food from that country, construct art projects related to the culture, read stories or biographies of people from that country, etc. But this was the first time we dressed up in clothing native to the country. After learning about dhotis, saris, bindis, turbans, etc., we decided to try out some makeshift versions of them. Some friends came over that afternoon, too, so we got everyone all dressed up!
The boys weren't as enthusiastic about it as I would have thought they would be.... but Rayna definitely got into it!
R with sari, bindi
Other highlights of the last week included:
selling hot chocolate and cookies -- raising money for a cause we are excited about!
...and, for Colsen, a ride in a TRUCK!
being men

Then this afternoon we enjoyed some time outside. I love the colors in the picture below.... and I also happen to love the boy in the picture as well:
