May 14

started the day with our Noah Webster's Reader
and a dab of Clifford easy readers

checked on our celery experiment - they are LOVING this!
not pictured but much loved are the holes at the base of the celery where you can see exactly how the water is traveling up to the leaves.


outside to rub the bark, with paper and crayons, on three different trees
talked about the differences and the patterns

Off to the last day of gymnastics for the season and then lunch with our favorite Daddy at Burger Kinger.

home.

Lydia, Nora and Samantha (for about 30 sec's) collected as many 'helicopters' out of our vegetable garden as we could and discussed why we didn't want these seedlings to steal all the nutrients our vegetables needed.

more discussion about what a flower or garden needs to grow.

a fight broke out between Nora and Sophie which triggered nap time!

Lydia is practicing more handwriting in more dollar section workbooks
mama is blogging too much

up and adam to cut up our celery and see what's inside!!!!
(and then eat it, of course!!!)

great conversation about how the leaves get water from the 'tubes' inside the celery.


and then, in a moment of weakness the other day at Wally World, I bought worms.
the girls love them...they go with our F is for Flowers and G is for Gardens and boy was it a hit!

worms and their poop - boy oh boy.

(and I am praying that the robins, who have a nest on our house, will be eating these the moment we are away!!!)
