A Recent Catch

by Alison on August 27, 2009

Hey, look!

We caught a cutie!

She’s a keeper!

(even with her cranky face…)

Don’t you wish you had a butterfly net to match your dress?

Enjoying them,
because of Him-

Google Doodle History & Telescopes

by Alison on August 26, 2009

**Edited 8/27/09 to add lesson plan links at bottom of post!

Every now and then one of the Google Doodles will catch my eye- today’s doodle was Google entirely out of telescopes, and I was delighted see it was commemorating something truly historical.

“Exactly 400 years ago today, on 25 August 1609, the Italian astronomer andphilosopher Galilei [...]

Sweet Books for Kids #2

by Alison on August 21, 2009

I don’t remember when or where I first saw this book or I would say a big thank you for steering me in such an adorable direction.

Another Trip to the Zoo

by Alison on August 19, 2009

We had so much fun a couple weeks back…
that we decided to go again.

It was hot and sunny, which always gets to me despite the many water bottles and Tylenol, and it was crowded- I really do think that this time everybody AND their neighbor decided to go to the zoo on the very same [...]

When Pollen Counts Merge

by Alison on August 16, 2009

This past week our local grass pollen count was still in the ‘high’ range, as the weed pollen count shot up to join it up there in the spotlight. Combine that with the heat wave and accompanying humidity (it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity, I’m from Minnesota, I have to say that) and throw [...]

School Planning Crunch Time

by Alison on August 6, 2009

Son #2 is at camp this week, and son #1 goes next week, then it’s time to hit the ground running. Son #1’s soccer practice actually starts the week he’ll be gone, so camp will, quite literally, be the end of his leisurely summer, which means it will also be the end of mine. With [...]

A Trip to the Zoo

by Alison on August 4, 2009

We love the Minnesota Zoo. (Have you been to http://www.whopooped.org/?) It’s a really, really, great zoo. It’s also a really, really, long drive for us to get there. It’s also not cheap. When there were three of us, it was not really a big deal, but now that there are nine of us, well, we [...]
