Whats on your coffee table/ kitchen table?

[zebra15]

It seems like we have a never ending circle of projects and activites going on MY coffee table, We dont have a kitchen table but use the breakfast bar area as a catch-all.

Right now DS is working on a puzzle in the shape of The United States and each state is a license plate.  These 1000 pcs better get assembled soon.

LEGOS. Lots of Legos that should've been put away before bedtime, actually. 

Our kitchen table is THE table for everything.  This can create some usage challenges for sure.

Three containers of caterpillars and pupas, one container with a large ground beetle in it, and one tiny container with a millipede in it.

We do not have a kitchen table, either. On the coffee table is a terrarium (with fairy dwelling!) that has been going strong for almost two years, and David MacAulay's Underground, the copy that my godfather gave me when I was 5 according to the front page. We got that out because the city is doing some sewer work literally right in front of our house, so I guess that is where we are going in terms of homeschool today.

This is where I find I like that we are Waldorf, but a little bit unschooly. I'm pretty sure I don't want to invent a story about the Sewer Gnomes. (Also pretty sure the guys out front might not like being called the Poop Fairies, judging by the look of them.). So we will stick with Mr. MacAulay for today, shall we?

On my messy dining room table is a whole lot of art supplies and some scattered remnants of Easter Basket fun.

Dining table is a huge box of pencils, some fairy colouring books and letter stencils. Coffee table is a basket of every book in our collection that mentions marine life in some way (some sweet story books, some non-fiction), a DVD of DD's ballet syllabus and the cartoon solar system book she pulled out this morning.

Candy!

Dd12 and dd8 are working on a small business venture: they'll be selling old-fashioned hard candies and home-made tea blends at the local market through the summer. Right now the stockpile of 2-Qt. jars of hard candy is lined up on the table: a couple of pounds each of raspberry, root beer, maple, tangerine, lemon, butter rum, mint, anise and cinnamon. It's a lovely-looking rainbow of sweets.

Also, a small bouquet of cherry, pear and wild currant blossoms. And ds14's chemistry textbook.

Our coffee table currently holds the loose parts form the latest toy my boys decided to take apart now that they discovered where their dad's screwdriver set is ;)  No toy is safe - its far more interesting to see the parts than to actually play with it apparently lol

The kitchen table is remarkably clean for the moment... sure that won't last though :)
