Here is what we did-In the morning we used the A-Z guide to Helping the Planet. It discussed all sort of practical ways to make small changes. Some highlights included fix leaky pipes and faucets. We took a jar and placed it under an intentional leak in the kitchen sink. In a half hours time we had 5 cups of water. Times that by 24 hours and you are pot

This weekend was jammed pack with field trips, fun and learning. We did go to the Color Tour, Archaeology Day and Crane Fest(twice). So today I declared that we would take the day off of school.The only exception was that we would watch no TV nor play on the computer. If we got bored, then we would do school. Ha! Like that was going to happen.We played Monolpoly. I won!We made Puppy Chow. It was yummy.The boy made beeswax candles.We played Whoonu. Three times.We played Sorry. The boy won.Overall, we enjoyed each others company and did some stuff that normally gets overlooked.Oh yeah
