Beautiful Day/Science

Posted in Nature

What a gorgeous day today. Then why am I crabby? Oh yeah, I'm pregnant. I still have over a month to go. The pain I was experiencing before, went away. But now, I have new pain. I had a week or two of normalcy. I guess the baby dropped because I have so much pressure, it's insane. Anyway....
This is what the boy's did today for science. Here they are looking in their square foot area:

They didn't find anything too interesting. D found a couple of "cool" weeds. But N let them blow away before I could get pictures of them. N claimed a bird pooped on his paper. I'm not sure about it, but it is possible.
Here are the little ones in a firetruck that I had as a kid:

And my monkey boy:

I wish he wouldn't do that....So here I sit, looking at all that has to be done in my yard. I have a couple of wind tunnels in my yard that are filled with leaves and garbage. And I can't do anything about it. At least, not without causing myself pain. I can watch the birds at the feeder and the bath. I wish I could get some good pictures of them. But they are, well, flighty.

I also get to hear the wonderful sounds of school children screaming at the playground. It's not even that close, and yet, they are so loud! Wouldn't it be nice if I could move? Gee, never thought of that.....

Very cute photos and I love the way the boys are really looking at their square. You should have them try it again someday in a different spot or later in the summer and see if they find anything different.

Thanks for sharing your afternoon,

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
