• Mar. 14, 2007 - Spring is here!

Okay, it officially starts next week, but it is here already at my house!  Just look at these flowers!


We are finishing the Polar habitat this week.  Swamps are next!  Math is going well - only 30 lessons left! In LA, we have done all the letters of the alphabet except X.  Yup!  Spring is here!

Update on the boys:  They both had their state writing tests this past Tuesday.  Both said it went okay.  Mark said it was easy and he actually finished with enough time to review his work!  Wow!  It has been taking him literally hours to write 5 paragraphs at home!  Praise God!

We are celebrating Mark's birthday this Saturday with a sleep over.  I'll let you know how it goes with 6 boys age 10 and up!  We bought the Pringles and candy bars.  Mark wants one of those big cookie pizzas instead of a cake.  That will be easier for me!  I'll try to post again once I recover.

Only 8 days until the WinterPromise retreat!!  I can't wait!  I am leaving on Mark's actual birthday, so we will have a family celebration sometime before then.

May Spring arrive at your house soon!

I am so envious... what beautiful flowers!!! I can't wait for spring to come and stay here. We had a great weekend, but back to the 30's and 40's now *sniff*

And yay for the boys doing well on their exams!

Mei's chubby cheeks look so adorable in that photo.

I didn't realize there were experiments in Animal Worlds. I took it for a bunch of paper crafts.

A happy birthday to Mark, too. I always prefer cookie pizzas. :)
