Mama and Maddie get to go shopping (for all that fabulous fabulousness above), and Daddy and Trev get to stay home and watch a Cooper's Hawk (Eric's or Trev's picture) carry a bird around three of our trees, and finally land in the backyard next door to eat his bird... too big to carry.A fine day!
Can't wait to start playin' tomorrow....
Ok, the green insect - what IS that? We have them here, but I have not yet been able to ID them. Help!
ReplyDeleteThe hawk is gorgeous. And the work the little ones have been doing? Looks like fun!
It's a katydid. :)
ReplyDeleteJust a "bit" of shopping!!! What fun!
ReplyDeleteOh i love "curriculum" shopping. I do it once a fortnight at the local ed store. its rather expensive so i just get the sale items. I went to buy those dice last week and they were $35. Dare i ask how much you paid for them?
ReplyDeleteAh-ha! Thanks!
ReplyDeletewhooee! Certainly not $35, I can tell you that!!!
ReplyDeleteI paid... (have to go see) $2.95 (usd).
Once a fortnight!!
Good grief, I wish I could go that often. I'd be flying off to another country a few times a year. Mine will do me for several months!-- with just a bit here and there.
i had to ask didn't i. Pays to shop around. Just glad i thought twice before buying them. We were going to make them instead. I spend about $50 a fortnight, stickers, workbooks, stamps and educational toys. Its a real treat for both me and Ellie
ReplyDeleteWe prob'ly spend close to that on average... when you count software, toys, library fines, renewing memberships, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a big shopping trip, though. Haven't done that in a while.
Had to buy cardstock (sheesh that's expensive!), pc paper, sticker paper, games, toys, etc et cetera.
I wasn't expecting to find anything since I was going looking...usually I only find treasures when I haven't any extra money!
Lots and lots of great stuff. I'm hoping to make a stop at Michael's today to get myself some goodies.
ReplyDeleteNice curriculum - especially the rainbow and hawk! I've seen your timeline and I think it's awesome. I've told other people about it too. Our basement has block walls and too much junk to make a nice timeline down there. Hopefully, someday we'll make it more useful. I work on it from time to time but having the whole room organized all at once is just too much for me right now. I do have some big plans for that room though.
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES, what a joy when most are changing their routines and adjusting their schedules to just go on living and enjoying our daily exploration of life.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!!!!! You guys are going to have a blast!
ReplyDeleteWere those "shrink films" like shrinky dinks? I heart shrinky dinks!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the best curriculum ever. :)
