It seems sometimes that life just gets too "normal" and it can make me feel like I need something new. I think winter sometimes brings these feelings on as well, as you are limited to what you can do.  I am really ready for spring, and ready to get outside in the sunshine.  I want more daylight and warmer weather too. 

 We took the kid's to the nature center this week, that was fun!  We also have been working on lapbooks the last couple of weeks.  Marie did one on Ireland and the periodic table. They turned out beautifully.  Douglas completed one on inventors and money.  I have to say, he learned quite a bit out our financial system.  Michael did his on inventors, and tigers. I think everyone did s superb job!  I will post pictures soon!

 I have been trying new recipes the last couple of weeks, I guess I'm just tired of the same ole, same ole.  The boys just told me that the new crock pot lasagna was delicious!  That is great, I love to try new things.  I know my favorite is the "cola burgers" and the "over the top mac-n-cheese" they are wonderful!

        Blessings and hoping spring arrives sooner than later....
