april seven :

blue sky today.
finally.

 they were peeping at us to let us know.

 

tada!  

the spinach sprouts are getting their second (regular) leaves!

games.

two on the computers.
Phineas and Ferb and Dora's Puppy Adventures.

and we admired -and ra-a-tat-tat-ted to- our neighborhood woodpecker.

since we -finally!- have nice weather today (but cold, still) I thought that Creating en plein air was going to be quite the thing.  but what???
eventually I had the idea that honoring Mama Nature with the lovely tools around us would be a fine idea.
so...

we gathered grass... to make grass, and sticks ... to make trees, and flowers, to make flowers.
and leaves, and dried blossoms, and whatever looked like it would make an interesting print.

and we used these things (and not paint brushes) to make our art pieces.
beautiful.

and we played more letter and number games on the trampoline.

and Maddie wanted to plant something! and so we looked through our seeds for something that could be planted four weeks before the last frost.
swiss chard!

so that's done, too.

maddie folded and hung up laundry.

we made fossil casts.

 Trev and his mama discussed Play.
(and decided that the trampoline was quite The Place to do so.)

the rest of tonight looks like

"the jumping numbers game"
" Ten!  plus five!  equals (jump to 15...) minus two!...."

and dinner

and our latest movie- Harry P and the Sorcerer's Stone.
with popcorn and redvines, of course.

and so. that will do.
prob'ly we'll see you tomorrow...
