We live in a small space with no place to light a fire and no room for a full spiral... But I think we did a good job improvising!
The girls watched a little bear episode about winter solstice and we read a few books and online stories.
We walked our half spiral and lit our candles.
We lit the lanterns for the snow angels and snow faeries to find their way...
And hung our cranberry garland for them to eat if they get hungry.
After everyone went to bed, Jared and I awaited the lunar eclipse.
Horrible picture! It was totally red! It was the first time we have seen anything like this as adults. Jared and I both remember a summer as children when we watched it (separately).
We even woke up ira.
She said"its red. Im cold. Put me back in bed".
Today, We worked on our season/nature table. Reciting some of Rudolph Steiner/waldorf verses-
Advent week one-
The first light of Advent is the light of stones.
Stones that live in crystals, seashells, and bones.
The second light of Advent is the light of plants.
Roots, stem, leaf, flower and fruit by whom we live and grow.
The third light of Advent is the light of beasts.
Animals of farm, field, forest, air and sea.
All await the birth in greatest and in least.
The fourth light of Advent is the light of humankind.
The light of love, the light of thought, to give and to understand.
Ira helped build this nativity scene with her toys. She was inspired by this book
She pays much attention to detail. Using two dolls in dresses as Mary and joseph after seeing this page
Ira checked the cranberry garland and was disappointed to see that no snow angels or squirrels had eaten any.
Apparently the local squirrel didn't get the memo.
