Magical Field Trip!!

        We are the granddaughters of the witches you couldn't burn.... It has been a long standing tale that my mother was a witch in her day! Witches are something that have always fascinated both myself and my daughters. Not all witches are bad and history and mythology is full of stories of them. Even Shakespeare who we all adore had witches in his plays. 

        We have read about executions of so called "witches" before but until coming to this museum we had no idea the absolute depravity of it all. We knew witches had been burned at the stake before and hung but I guess you really have to see it to understand. We went to The Medieval Torture Museum to learn how criminals and such were treated back then. We really didn't know we would find so many things about witches.  

Herbology Day!

        Skyler has been wanting to try out her wax sealer so that was what she chose to do as soon as school started! I will say it was pretty cool. She wants more seals now! She was kind of weary about using the lighter so I lit a candle for her to use instead. 

Magic School Day!

        Butter beer ice cream was the first on her list today!! She is pretty much doing everything all by herself now and no longer asking for help so i am pretty thrilled in this area. We just got the recipe off line.
