The weather has finally warmed up around here. Mid-80's during the day and nice and cool at night. But that's all about to change as the temps are climbing higher every day.

Last week was a nice quiet week. We didn't have anything scheduled. This week isn't too bad. Today we have a Nature walk with the Earth Scouts group. So I plan to get some pictures uploaded (it has been forever since I added new pics to the blog). I hope the weather holds out for us, there are thunderstorms being forecasted for later this afternoon.

Friday a group of us will be heading to VA for a field trip to Sonic (there isn't one in our area, and a lot of us have never been to one LOL) and then to make it educational (and not just unhealthy) we're going to the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum. So everyone is looking forward to that.

The kids and I have been reading The Cartoon History of the Earth books by Jacqui Bailey. They are really fun books. So far we've read Vol 1 The Birth of the Earth and Vol 2 The Dawn of Life. I have to get these from Inter-Library Loan as our local library doesn't have them. So we are waiting on the last 2 books, Vol 3 The Day of the Dinosaurs and Vol 4 The Stick and Stone Age.

We're also reading through Story of the World Vol 2, just as a refresher. We never did get started using the Beautiful Feet Medieval history study this year. So I think we may *try* to work some of that in over the summer. The first part is mainly a bunch of reading, So the kids won't moan too much about it.

We still have a little bit of math to get finished, and some work in the Word Roots books. I think over the summer we'll do some fun science experiments. And I want to get the kids cooking more often. So I think we'll have cooking class as well. ;)

Hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of Spring. We really didn't have much of a Spring here. It went from cold to hot it seems.
