This week is field trip week for us. Monday we went to the zoo...



Claire insisted I take a picture of her on every animal statue!









Nathan monkeying around!



I thought this was a really good shot of Claire. She also made me take pictures of her on every rock she climbed up!



Claire made a penguin friend. She named him Ping! She names everything!

During our trip to the zoo a couple weeks ago we discovered the Nature exchange. You can bring nature items or academic work dealing with nature in and exchange it for points. These points can then be used to "buy" other nature items that other people have brought in. Its really cool. My kids talk about it constantly and can't wait to go back! Nathan had sketched some animals that day at the zoo so they gave him points for them. This is one of the things he got....

Can you guess what it is? C'mon, take a guess!

The answer is posted in my comments section, but I'd love to know what you thought it was.

This is my son. And that's about how he's feeling these days. His shoulder has been in pain for a few months now. The first MRI (of his neck) didn't show anything. Just got the results of the second MRI yesterday. He has some torn cartilage and will probably need surgery. He was not very happy about that at all. Poor kid. The worst part is it keeps him out of baseball this year.
So, that's why I'm posting a droopy picture of him and the cat! We go back to the ortho in a few weeks to find out for sure what needs to be done.

Ok, this is definately more wordful than wordless! Here in Texas we had a record snowfall last week. We had over 11 inches!! It was the good snow too. My daughter became a pro and rolling snowballs! The rest of us couldn't do it, but she whipped them out like crazy!

We made a 6 ft 6 in. tall snowman. That was just with the snow from half of our driveway! Its the only snow left now...the big lump that used to be the snowman!

Monday was Nathan's 12th Birthday. In our family, whoever has a birthday gets to pick where they want to eat dinner that night. Nathan chose IHOP because he wanted the all you can eat pancakes. He ate lots of pancakes!


He was stuffed, but still managed to find room for the ice cream sundae they brought him when they found out it was his birthday!



And back at home he found more room for the apple pie that he requested. Yes, no cake for him this year. He asked for an apple pie instead.

Wordless Wednesday turned Wordful Wednesday!

Normally, I do a Wordless Wednesday post, but today it has turned into Wordful Wednesday because I just have to tell the story that goes along with this picture!

Claire's assignment for science was to examine dirt with a magnifying glass. I got her some dirt out of my garden and she found an earthworm in it. She was thrilled and, being the little girly girl that she is, decided she wanted to keep it as a pet. I said no, of course. She played with it for a while. She would giggle when it moved and she thought it was making letters and numbers out of its body! She named it Professor Wormy doodle something or another...I don't know. She kept changing the name every 2 minutes! She also wanted it to stay and live in the house. She said it told her it wanted my room! She also wanted me to make it a sweater! Where does she get these ideas??? Anyway, we all had a good laugh. Claire brings such silliness to our family. I love it. I snapped this picture before she took it back out to the garden. Yes, she finally did put that poor thing back!

Funniness aside, this little occurance made me so grateful for homeschooling. Not only did I get to share in her activity and the joy she felt finding the worm, I also did a little impromtu lesson on earthworms. Claire, for reasons unknown to me, said its a girl and a boy. Nathan said that was impossible. So, then they got to learn that, in fact, Claire was kind of right. Earthworms have both male and female reproductive organs. Nathan just could not believe that! So, a simple little activity about looking at soil turned out to be even more educational than I'm sure the text book authors planned. It also provided some comic relief to our school day!
