I did mention that we would be spending a lot of time outdoors, didn’t I?  Well, it’s January and it’s 75° out, so we are outside! The weather has been unbelievable this week and we have been taking full advantage of it! Yesterday we spent the entire afternoon with our Co-op group at the park. We joined a Homeschooling Co-op back in September and have not been very active in it, despite the best of intentions.  We’re trying to get more involved. Clark and Luci were hesitant at first, but eventually met some new friends to play with and had...

We have been very busy cramming in some park time, spending as much time outdoors as we can!  We’re very fortunate that we still have nice enough weather in our part of the country to be playing outside, but I don’t expect this to last long.  We often have a week of warm weather in January, which is just enough to cause us shock when the cold February, rainy season arrives.  Then we’re back indoors again, dreaming of warmer weather. We packed some snacks and went for a hike at a our favorite local nature preserve.  Clark and Luci were “too tired...

Every year I take pictures of my children for Christmas Cards.  I have this elusive fantasy of one day being super-organized and getting all of the pictures framed and lined up on the wall, documenting my babies’ growth through the years.  I am realistic enough to know that this may never happen.  Truth be told, I am lucky to get Christmas cards mailed out! In fact, I always include “Happy New Year,” just in case they are too late for Christmas. Do you send out Christmas Cards every year? For some reason the thought of Christmas cards did not even...

We have started rowing The Tale of Peter Rabbit this week (and probably the next), so I wanted to do some gardening with Clark and Luci.  The incredible irony of this is that I. CANNOT. GROW. ANYTHING.  In fact, I'm really amazed that my children are growing so well!  At one point, I wanted a plant so bad that I bought a cactus. Would you believe I actually killed that too?! So this gardening endeavor was a big one for all of us!  The one thing that gives me courage is my Fairy Garden (you've got to check...

It took seventeen days for all of our butterflies to emerge from their chrysalides.  No matter how many times you see this transformation, it remains fascinating and magical.  Although I would have liked to keep our butterflies for a couple of days, but they were somewhat lethargic, so I was worried that they needed to be set free into their natural environment. Clark and Luci were SO excited to let them fly free.   The moment we took our butterflies outside, they started flitting and flying around in a frenzy.  I am quite sure they were telling us that they were...
