march five: regular ol' o.l.m.

At eight-something this morning Maddie decided Snow Play was in order.
"Don't you want to wait a little while?" Nope.
Alright.
So she started a snowman.


And wanted a bowl for snowcones
and made a snow angel
and Mama helped her make a snowman


and Trevy and I played dress-up.





Trevelyn and I sat with Benjamin Franklin and his First Kite, taking turns reading.

And we read more of Early Humans, and talked about which things we're putting up on our timeline.

We've counted out money for a trip to the store with Dad

and we got very excited when we realized that we could watch our fifty or so episodes of Magic School Bus - since we have fixed the little tv with the vcr. wooooohooooo!

Prehistory documentary
and complaining commentary on commentary. He doesna see the irony. :)

Discussion of acid rain.

Pez.

With the Friz!
All Dried Up
Goes To Seed
Gets Ants In Its Pants

Snowcones!

The Usbourne Art Treasury over breakfast (more like a late brunch today).

More Friz.
Kicks Up A Storm.

Neighborhood explorations.
Solo.

Puppet show.
Stories. For an audience.


Painting.

More snow.
Mud.
Mopping.
(His idea and implementation.)

Marathon Magic School Bus continues-- Molecules, desert, weather, Muscles, dough, Seeds, chemistry, construction.... Apparently all 50 episodes are in the plans for the day.....

Beading.

And then...

and then beloved friends came by for a surprise visit

and there
-unexpectedly
happily
and chaotically-
went the rest of our day.

:) And night.

We're good.
We're happy.
An' all is well.
