My Annette is just so cute! Yesterday she and the boys were helping Lupe, dig a narrow ditch, so all the water on our property will flow to the street. Well, she comes in and ask me where dad Dewalt flashlight is.

When we were in South Dakota she bought a raccoon skin cap. She so funny. She wears it all the time. Even to AWANA and the funny thing is, it's no big deal to her. Most kids her age would not be caught dead wearing a 'coon' skin cap. Not my Annette, she is who she is. I love it that she wears her hat and doesn't care what others think about it. She actually gets lots of compliments and questions.

She loves going with her dad to the apartments on Saturday. She learns a lot about repairing things.

My dad came over so the children didn't get too much school in today. We did the unschooling thing today I found Joshua, reading a book about the Civil War. He had a map out and was putting paper different color marking the two sides.

Ethan was putting his toy boats in the water outside to see which way his boat would float. Of course it floated toward the house. That's why we are a bit flooded here

Annette was mapping out Lewis & Clark's expedition on a map. All the children are listening to a Jonathan Park cd. So although we didn't do 'school' they did get some learning in on their own. It's fun to see then explore on their own.

After quiet time is over I am going to have them all do some math. Annette, did do her Social Studies today. She was working on that when grandpa came.
