We experimented with watercolor and we planted some onion starts (48 to be exact–who likes onions? Anyone?).We spent a few hours late in the afternoon at the zoo and had the kangaroo keeper all to ourselves so the girls asked loads of questions.
We took Radar to the park and then to the nursing home to fill the bird feeders which we do once a month with some other homeschooling families. We learned that Radar is the kind of dog that people cross rooms, tap on glass, and in general change direction to see. He even got to go inside and visit with some of the residents! Makenna made me promise we’ll take him back soon.
Today we visited with a dear friend who was kind enough to share her passion with us: digging in the dirt. So we spent the afternoon scavenging in an old field. Makenna found a number of old bones, sea shell fossils and an old jar. Madison pieced together the clues to discover that a house and family once occupied the site. She found an old door knob, several old square nails, bits of pottery, worn bricks, some milk glass and various pieces to an old plate. A pretty cool end to a busy week!Oh, yeah. Just for good measure, we did a little math, reading and copywork.
Tomorrow I better do some laundry!

My mother eats onions like it's her job! And I think that gene must have passed on to me because lately I've been wanting onions on stuff. But do not send me onions, send them to mom!
