yesterday
We had a great day yesterday. We had field trip to an Agra business where they had a pancake breakfast kids loved it they also loved climbing on the tractor and the skid steer.
Yesterday night we saw some geese land and a few turkeys. so we decided to head down in our pasture which is still pretty laden with snow. It was ans arduous slip and slide snowy hike but worth it and fun. as we were half way there 6 geese flew right overhead.
and on the way there were the perfect tracks of Canadian geese right next to some turkey tracks on the snow the kids had so much fun checking it out. One part of the creek is open. and some of the pond is thawed out you could here the water moving . Anyhow as we got down there two geese decided to come in for a look and must of liked what they saw because they decided to land much to the delight of the kids and hubby and I. They let us watch them for quite a while.
Quite a treat.

Robins are here !!!!!!!!!!!!!

a few things we are into right now
One of the many books we are reading is "Little House in the Big Woods " By Laura Ingalls Wilder we are almost done with it . I always liked the little house series and the book is so great for history studies because it really is such a great portrait of pioneer life with good stories into the mix so as not to be boring.
Also we are moving right along with Botany . And the apologia book as well as other interesting books I will list on here later. Both of the kids loved the DK Eyewitness Plants video. That was definitely a good purchase.
Jacob thoroughly enjoyed the cowboy unit from the Abeka history book we are using.
He loved singing some of the songs the had listed the words too." Get along little doggies."
The kids new favorite toy was a great purchase a parachute (I found a Marshall's for $16.98)
I found a couple wiffle balls at target $2 for four the kids loved putting them in the parachute. and having fun popping them up and down like a corn popper. If you want the parachute but don't have a Marshall's target had them too for a couple bucks more.
I am always looking for stuff for our gym repertoire.
The kids are big on Mrs. Frizzle and the magic school bus lately.
