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.
