We went back to school this week. I think we were all happy to get back into our routine. I talked to the Goo about Kindergarten and explained to him that most kids go away to school when they are 5 but that we would like to teach him at home. He seemed fine with the idea of staying home. He really likes to stay at home and sometimes we have to drag him away from his interests to go anywhere or even to go outside. He has to build and design train tracks all day and at night he thinks of new designs to try in the morning.
Cass loves to be outside and go places. Yesterday she asked all day if I could take her outside. We played in the front yard and then we looked for bugs and spiders in the backyard. She loved that. We saw a lot of spider webs in the rocks with eggs and empty snail shells. We wanted to find out what spiders eat snails but it seems that a lot of different spiders eat them. Cass saw a rollypoly (I can't find how to spell that) in a web and took it out with a stick and saved it. She was so happy to have saved it from death.
We also found a snake skin. Last week Felipe found a live snake in our backyard. We all rushed out to see it and we saw it slither into its hole close to our house.
We started our Library Summer Reading Program. The kids have decided to read for 30 min. per day this summer. We also saw the display in the library of items belonging to my 2nd great grandfather and pictures of him and his family. I really enjoyed seeing them.
