Waldorf Co-op

I haven't posted yet about co-op this year, but I wanted to share how wonderfully it is going. We are lucky to have several new mommas/kids to join us this year. I am so excited with all the new energy added to the group. We are really lucky to have such an awesome group and all the kids get along so well. It couldn't be more perfect.

Last Monday was our first co-op at our "winter" site. Unlike last year where we held co-op indoors during winter, we decided to try it outside around a campfire. The morning was very chilly, especially for this time of the year, so it was time to bring on the fire! The kids were so amazed at the process and loved being able to help.

After a few (okay several) minutes, we finally got the fire started!

Then it was on to yoga! Look all those cute little yogis!

Lora read a story after circle while the other mommas set up for the craft. The story for this week (and the next three weeks) was the anxious leaf. Kate was our circle leader for the day and she also was in charge of the craft. She spent I don't know how many hours cutting out over a hundred felt leaves for each family to create into a banner (which is seen in the above post). The boys enjoyed picking out the leaves and Blake helped with most of the construction. I was glad he offered because admittedly, my hands were a bit cold and I was having a hard time! After our lunch we headed into the woods for a lovely hike. I, of course, left the camera behind.

Monday's have become a cherished day in our house because of co-op. We are happy to have the new families and look forward to getting to know them better!
