Pictures

 Birthday canoeing in Joseph, Oregon. Ben and Will got to go later with Brad and Brian

We have been enjoying the amazing 70 degree weather. I can see why people love living here, the weather is amazing. And while the winter totally sucks, they suck everywhere. And at least here the winter only lasts 2 or 3 months.

 I got my hair cut and colored for my b-day, thanks bebe!

Party

My kids were invited to a Dr. Seuss party, they had so much fun and were well behaved! It was a pajama party too!
 

Play time/Cleaning out Junk from my Homeschool Cupboard

Will is building a plank house and Ruth is decorating her tipi. Best part of homeschooling is that when kids want to explore some random topic, you get to do it! We also looked at wigwams, wattle and daub, longhouses, earthen houses, and adobe houses. We learned about the benefits of each structure and the regions where they were built.

 Ruth apparently had a blast creating a castle! We used up left over geometry pieces and chalk (that's what is in the bowl). Wet chalk dries really cool.

I cut the bottom off of two milk jugs. Then we played catch.
