Anyway, our classroom motto is "Where every day is a five turtle day!"
There's a pond/log by our house and every time we pass it we count the turtles. There is always one turtle there but usually 3 or 4 and sometimes if we're lucky the whole family is out sunbathing.
Ella, Kate and friends have explorer notebooks where they can draw pix, take notes, and glue pictures. Ella and kate took these pictures themselves.
After our little nature walk everyone was so worn out we all took a nap in my bed. Does that ever happen?!! I think it made my top 10 days for being a mom.
Anyway, I better go do some dishes and watch the news. And if you have a chance, remember Anne in your prayers. Hopefully surgery tomorrow will get her back in the game.

That is a great post. Look how fun you are. The girls probably learn a lot more with you than they would at school and they definitely have more fun. :)
(After your last picture, there is a huge empty gap before the text... don't know if that is just on my computer or if you can delete it.)
Love you, all of you! Hope you have a 5 turtle night.
Hey nice basidomycota....I am amazed how much kids can learn when they get outside and experience their surroundings. Fun stuff !

Stella learned a lot about spores this summer... make spore prints by taking the top off of different 'schrooms and leaving it on top of a thicker piece of white paper. (Put it out of the way, especially if someone like Margo the Marauder is in the house.) Wait a few days and be amazed at the very groovy and fragile prints.
