Hi Barb,
How are you? We are all well. Did you tell me you own a copy of The Burgess Seashore Book for Children? Could I borrow it? We are studying day 5 in our creation study, and I thought this book might make it even more interesting.
We have been enjoying the nicer weather. Yesterday we spread out a blanket in the back yard and sat Ruby down. She was so cute. We gave her different flowers we could find in bloom. She looked so sweet holding them. It was quite the picture, her holding dandelions while the rest of us gathered around and gooed and gaa-gaaed at her. : )
Then Alexa asked to bust open a rock. She had found a few rocks that looked as if they might be geodes, and she wanted to discover if she was right. She was right! They had beautiful white crystals inside. She then began to bust apart other rocks to discover what was hidden inside of them. She spent hours and had a delightful time. She found some fossils also. I think I will have her take pictures and post and label them on her blog.
Well, I better go. I finally got my dishes caught up, and now I am working on the laundry.
Love,
Jen
ps The reason I posted this on my blog:
I have been enjoying a book entitled A Pocketful of Pinecones by Karen Andreola. It is written in such a warm conversational style. My note that I sent to a friend recently reminded me of her writing, and I thought I would pass it on. |
