Home Schooling Summary for Last Week

 Time to start the tomato and pepper seeds in eggshells again! After weeks of cold and snow, the kids were almost as excited as I was to get their hands in some dirt.

The weather finally warmed up on Wednesday. We came home from a playdate and big sister A set up this picnic lunch on the front porch. As you can see the ground was way too snowy to spread the blanket on.

Notice that Big sister A also decided that it was too hot for anything other than shorts. You know the winter has been a cold one, when 55 degrees feels hot enough for shorts.

We had an indoor camping adventure at our favorite nature center.

They read Camping with the President and discussed Theodore Roosevelt. I was super proud of my kiddos that day. They were the only ones able to answer the history questions about who the current president is and whether they could name any other presidents (brother M said "George Washington!").

Then they made their own campfires out of toilet paper tubes and tissue paper.

And the part all the kiddos like the best? Making a huge blanket "tent", of course.

Here is Mr. Squirrel eating the bird treats that we made last week. Every time baby S sees him he squeals and points at the window. Already another little naturalist!
