The Last Few

The last few weeks have flown by in a flash. In school, we have been learning alot...

about magnets...

the gold rush, many trails that lead west, Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, and many unique facts about some of our great states. In the pics of the kids under the tree, they are playing Civil War. The cars that went down our street were the enemy. They had play rifles, light sabers, masks, and pretend grenades. Some cars would kind of slow down to wave at the kids. Instead of waving back the kids would point their play guns at them. I wanted to stand with a sign that said "they are playing war and we are not teaching violence around here". I know, I know, HOMESCHOOLERS!

We have managed to squeeze in alot of preschool too. Luke is learning to read!

And lastly, we have been watching this robin's nest on our porch.
