Plants


These are our little seedlings.....since it has stayed winterish through the end of may we are not able to plant outside yet. We planted flowers of all kinds in little plastic cups for the front planter box that will be going in front of the deck. :) Can't wait for them to grow bigger so we can plant and enjoy them. The kids get to see first hand how to plant and grow. In a few you can see the roots on the side of the cup.

Sewing class





Her jean purse

At homeschool co-op Gracie had a hand sewing class and she had a lot of fun in there. Yesterday was the last day of the semester so she brought everything home to show us. We are so proud of her. She also made some cute animals. A dino, dolphin and elephant. :)

T-REX ROAR






We love the show Dinosaur Train on PBS. The kids just love dinosaurs right now. When we were in San Diego we went to the museum of natural science in Balboa park. They had a wonderful dinosaur exhibit. A full size T-Rex that moved his head and arms greeted us on the first floor with a growl. On our way out we purchased a fossil kit of a t-rex head so we could excavate it when we got home. I think it was the first thing we did after we got home because the kids were so excited. So I hope this was the first of many dino digs. We hope to do one in the back yard this summer.
