Today is one wet rainy day, it seems like a rainy spring day although everything is still brown as it is winter.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was close to 70 on February 10th, so we called it too nice of a day to do school. We got out in the yard and cleaned up dog guano, 5 dogs make alot of guano all winter! The girls were super helpful, although I'm sure they would have rather been doing anything else.
After lunch we took Cowboy and Gabby for a walk while the girls rollerbladed all over the neighborhood. The girls decided that Cowboy and Gabby make good pulling dogs and had the dogs pulling them around. That lasted until Cowboy spotted a squirrel and took off with Em still holding on. Thankfully he didn't run any farther than the tree the squirrel ran up and Em managed to stay mostly upright.
We got home and played baseball on the driveway. Very funny and we found out the girls can hit!
So today we are back to school, we are taking it slow as we have all day and nothing to do until after dinner when the girls have Adventure Club(youth group) at their friends church, and I have Bible Study. We haven't started Awana at our church yet as the girls are really enjoying Adventure Club and it all happens on the same day.
School today is going very smoothly. we have Mozart playing quietly in the background, Em is working on multiples and factors and Jori is getting place value firmed up with some extra workbook pages. We are starting the Civil War today in History, I was able to get a movie from the library which we will watch while we eat lunch. We are studying birds in science just in time for spring, we just finished bats and have decided we are going to get some bat houses in our backyard with the hopes of getting some bats to eat our mosquitos.
With the weather the way it is I am going to get some baking done today. We need some dinner rolls for dinner tonight and the girls love bran muffins so I will get some done in time for the afternoon of reading.
Blessings for a wonderful rainy day........
