We are coming up on 1 month in Florida, and so much of it has gone by in a blur for me.  I'm trying to stop and take photos, but I'm not as good at getting them posted.  Here's a brief summary of some of the things we've found and enjoyed...

Here's a photo of our "classroom".  Things are actually going pretty well, all things considered.  School is certainly at our fingertips!

Just on the other side of our classroom is our family room/living room.   In its current incarnation, I have my spinning wheel set up in front of the tv, blocking it, so the kids watch tv in our bedroom right now.

This is our kitchen.  Again, cozy, but very serviceable!

This is our bedroom.  We've put all our favorite blankets on to remind us of home, so it's a bit crazy looking, but it is comfortable.

Here's Jacob, getting ready to do an experiment on electricity through our Noeo Chemistry book.

And here's another experiment we're doing, where we're extracting the green pigment in spinach leaves (chlorophyll, anyone?).  We soaked the leaves in rubbing alcohol, and it made a lovely green shade...

like this!  When then extracting the color to see the different shade variations...

like this!

Here's Emma all ready to to go on a bike ride!

While Emma's been riding, Oliver's been creating great art with his Legos!  I'm so glad we remembered to pack them up for Florida!

Our first official field trip was to MOSH (The Museum of Science and History) in downtown Jacksonville.  The kids enjoyed the displays about Florida history and the session on magnetics.  We attended a show that covered lots of general science topics, and the kids really enjoyed those.

The kids had a great time experimenting with liquid nitrogen and balloons, flight, and electricity.  They had a wonderful time being a part of the show.

One of our new favorite places to go is Chamblin's Book Mine.  It makes Half Price books like like a teeny shop.  I can envision spending much more time there in the future!  It's a homeschoolers idea of fun, for sure!

Don't let its looks fool you... there's gold in them thar walls!  (or at least a lot of really good books!)

Our most recent field trip was Sunday when we went to the Jax Zoo.  It's a very nice zoo, and we all had a great time.  The weather was absolutely perfect for it!

Love those hats!  They kept us all from getting sunburned!  Oh, and we looked like homeschoolers wearing them!  At least I didn't go for the denim jumper!

Emma looks so cute on her bird!

Our boys are so silly, sometimes!

And here is a photo of the roses Brett got me for Valentine's Day, as well as some roving I bought at Knitwitz.  Below, you'll see how it's looking on the bobbin...

It's a lot of fun to spin up!

Last but not least, here's a photo of the February baby sweater I'm working on, right before I started knitting the body.  The gull pattern is very easy and very cute!
