 We have been outside a lot this month! It was been really nice. The weather has mostly been great up until this past week. I will never get around to blogging about each time, but here are some of the things we have been up to. While we would love for the beautiful weather [...]  We had promised Fiona way back on her birthday that we would go for a pony ride in the summer. With everything else going on, it kept not happening. Finally last week, on the last weekday they were open, it was a gorgeous day and seemed perfect for an outing. Our first stop [...]  I keep hearing about this geocaching thing, but we’ve never actually tried it. But with Meredith’s interest in treasure hunting, I thought maybe we should try it out. I got some advice and help from some friends online, and signed up at geocaching.com. I found information on three local “caches” that were all located [...]  Kris and Meredith went out earlier in the week by themselves. Kris dropped Meredith off at a friend’s house, and then went on to take our honey supers to have the honey extracted. (He came home with 60 pounds of honey! From a hive we have only had for 4 months!) This left Fiona, [...]  It was a gorgeous day today. We went out to a playground in the early afternoon, but when we got home it was still really beautiful weather so we decided to go for a walk in our woods. Kris was wanting to scope out our property to see if there were any rotting logs [...]  When we go to the library, I will often add one or two books to their pile that I think they might find interesting. Sometimes they ask to read them, and they have led to some fun projects or discussions; other time they sit ignored in the pile. I like to get ideas from [...]  It rained for a few days last week and I was feeling a little down. I don’t mind the rain, and in fact prefer cooler weather over sweltering hot. But I do feel like we didn’t get much of a summer this year. Guinevere was born just as summer started, and because of mild [...]  These two pretty much happened concurrently and again, almost completely naturally. In fact, it had actually come up shortly before I even found BFSU. Meredith had noticed we don’t fill the tub all the way before we get in, and asked why. We explained that we are pretty big and when we get in [...]  I have been reading Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding myself, but not so sure how or even whether to incorporate it into our day-to-day living. I am excited about it as I love science and sharing things like this with the girls, but I don’t want to force things on them or set up [...]  I’ve mentioned that I signed us up for the 30×30 Nature Challenge. It honestly didn’t change much. I don’t know if I did it wrong or what, but I never got any challenges via email so we just did our usual trying to get outside every day and puttering around or walking and exploring [...] |
