Homeschool Group

We've joined a new homeschool meetup group and Benjamin and Savannah have been loving it!  I've been a bit concerned because he only has one boy in his class at school and his other friend goes to school full time (public school) so we don't get to see him as much since school has started.  So, we've branched out to make more friends!  I'm so glad we did....I even like the moms in the group.  :)

This is some of the group at the Heard Museum from a few days ago.  The weather has been beautiful and it turned out to be a really nice visit.

A Picture Says a Thousand Words

We've been spending a lot of time at the travel trailer down at Lake Whitney.  The kids have a blast and David and I actually get some down time.  This picture below is from our last day there.  Perfect!

Eggsperiment

Ever wonder what happens to an egg when it soaks in vinegar for a couple of days?  Yeah, me neither. But it was part of Ben's homework assignment and it turned out to be really neat!  The vinegar eats the shell away and all that is left is the soft fragile membrane protecting it.  Kind of felt like a water balloon.    This was part of our study of cells.  Been fun.  :)

Grandmother Visit

This was from this past summer.  Forgot to post then.  Love this sweet picture.

Albert Einstein

We're doing a project on Albert Einstein (since Benjamin wants to be a scientist why not learn about one of the most famous scientists, right?).  One of Albert's famous quotes is "Imagination is more important than knowledge".  When I said that to Ben his response was "Wow!  You mean he used his imagination????".  Ha!

Waffle House

Breakfast with my favorite girl.  Oh by the way, did you know they don't sell pancakes at Waffle House? Yeah, me neither...... guess that makes sense....."W.A.F.F.L.E." house.........
