Have fun reading the post below. I just do not have the energy to re-do it right now! Sorry. ;)

Class at the local state park - Hide n Seek

No. This child is in no danger. It's a stuffed cat.

Hard to see this little guy. His camouflage works well.

The boys looking for examples of animal camouflage in magazines.

Making learning fun!




I missed this one. Hard to believe I know!

Do you see it?

Hard to spot!

The program was called Hid n Seek. They discussed the predator /prey relationship. They also went over camouflage and how different animals use it differently. The boys had a lot of fun. We went on a walk to find the "hidden animals". Out of 11 animals the person to do the best was the child who saw 8.(not one of mine) They walked along in single file just noting to themselves when they found something and kept a running count. Really fun.

Snow!!!!????

It is cold enough for snow here at ground level.
View through the skylight. Only rain.

Even though some schools in the state are closed or delayed due to inclement weather ... our school is on time.

School is more fun with the dog. She weighed 3.1 pounds the last time we weighed her and she is now 15 weeks old.

It is supposed to be snowing until lunch time according to the weather man. Apparently the warm air moved in before they thought it was going to. Pooh! The good news is the boys start new classes today and are excited. They get to eat lunch with some new friends. I am going to use the time to do some planning and praying.

Watching History

Well today we spent most of our focus on the the stuff we "have" to do and tv coverage of the inauguration. Andrew really enjoyed watching the coverage. I think that "watching history" as it was happening was fun. I told him that he will be able to look back and remember this day. Daniel also watched it, but was not as "into" it. It was interfering with his regular PBS programing. LOL!! I missed part of what I wanted to watch. It seemed to take forever for the parade to happen. Not sure what time it did occur.

Some things I Want to Remember This Year

Instead of saying "I can't," to remember "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13

Instead of whining "I want such and such...", to remember "My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Instead of being afraid, to remember "God hath not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." II Timothy 1:7

Instead of doubting, to remember "God hath given to every man the measure of faith."
Romans 12:3

Instead of saying "I'm too weak!", to remember "The Lord is the strength of my life."
Psalm 27:1

Instead of thinking "That's it--I give up!", to remember "God always causeth me to triumph in Christ Jesus." II Corinthians 2:14

Instead of thinking, "I just don't know what to do!", to remember "Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom from God." I Corinthians 1:30

Instead of being worried, to remember I'm "casting all my cares upon Him who careth for me." I Peter 5:7

Instead of saying "I can't do anything right!", to remember "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1
