Wow, we have been on the go and living outside planting the garden, working on the greenhouse, weeding and mowing every spare moment since the end of March and well, I have a lot to catch up on here!
Let's start with St. Patrick's Day. Aiden and his buddies got together for games and a party and worked heartily building leprechaun traps out of our junk supply bin (boxes, toilet paper rolls, yarn, packing materials, etc..). Each child had a totally different design and they were just amazing structures! Digging through a supply bin to design a trap is every little boy's dream, right!? Aiden's leprechaun escaped, but he left a gold coin in his stead! Mischievous little sprite! Aiden is already planning next year's trap. (:
At the end of March we also went tidepooling with some homeschool friends. It was an extremely foggy and windy day, but the kids enjoyed climbing all over the rocks and poking around in all of the little pools at low tide. Liam's favorite animal was the sea anenome. He would touch it with his finger and it would squirt out water at him. He giggled and laughed! The kids all wanted to take home crabs, shells, and sea stars, but we gently explained the concept of poaching and that they could not. They were bummed, but we want to protect this really amazing habitat we are so blessed to explore here.
