Science brings beauty...

Friday, April 16, 2010

We had a great week this week...we are beginning to drop subjects that we have completed for the year! Spelling, Word Roots, and History will be done very soon!  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Next week is our curriculum fair which is coming at the right time...it will re-energize me a bit as I am feeling burnt out on schooling right now.

This week Noah's science brought some beauty to our home instead of the normal excitement of blowing something up!  I normally don't buy fresh flowers for our home...it is just something extra that we don't need to spend money on.  This week, however, Noah needed to do a flower dissection.  So I headed to the store, and found some beautiful tulips! We did the dissection and then got to enjoy them sitting in the window sill! I fell in love with their beauty, and now I want to buy more!  See, science IS dangerous even if you never blow up a thing!  LOL

We also got a chance to take care of Titan's little Uncle Aurik. Isn't he a doll???!!  This is good training for the kids as they help train this little one and clean up his messes!

Those are beautiful tulips. And, that dog is a cutie! It sounds nice to be finishing up some of your subjects. I wish we were! :-)

I love the tulips! I am also one who doesn't think flowers are really a necessary expense. However, when I receive them as a gift, I'm shocked at how much I really enjoy their beauty.

A flower dissection sounds like fun. Glad to hear that things are wrapping up for you. Enjoy your weekend!

Congrats on seeing the light!!

If it's the convention (the curriculum fair) that you're writing about then I know one of the vendors (Heppners Legacy). Be sure to stop by...they are so kind!

Blessings to you...and i WILL be following.
