Bug Hunt!

Earlier this week we went over to Vanessa's house for a bug hunt. Vanessa is really into nature- something I am not, so we are grateful to have her for this part of science!

I stayed away as much as possible but we did look through Vanessa's bug books to identify the bugs she caught with them.

Checking out an egg in Vanessa's yard- possibly a snake egg.

Thanks for having us over for the bug hunt Vanessa!

Men In Black III

This past weekend we went to the movies with Titi Mel. We saw Men In Black III at Jayden's request. The language was definitely not appropriate- oops! But the kids had a lot of fun!

Tball game

This past weekend we had another game. I should really start keeping track of who we played but I can't remember the name of our opponents! It was also picture day so we had to arrive early. When we got there we didn't see anyone from our team so we went to the tables to sit and wait.

Cait picked a flower for me

We waited for a half hour before our team showed up... and they had already taken pictures! Apparently the coach came to check the field and didn't notice us (just as we didn't notice him!) so we missed the pictures. Luckily the coach and his wife spoke with the photographers and the team and everyone stayed back after the game to do a re-shoot! I was extremely grateful. The got some cute shots of Jayden which we should get back in a few weeks.

Co-op

This week was our big co-op. The kids did a unit on measurements.

 Filling a cup of rice to see how much it weighed.

 Drawing his hand to measure it.

 Simon says!

 Duck duck goose!

 London Bridges!

Co-op is always a great day!
