Ahhh, we've had such gorgeous spring weather lately! Crisp in the morning with the temperatures reaching around 80 by the afternoon. I know these days, sans humidity, will be over in a hot second, so we are trying to be outside as much as possible. One of our favorite things is to sit outside in the evenings and watch for fireflies. Being from the PNW this is a relatively new experience for us. Havalah, in particular, is really adept at catching (and releasing) them.
We've had a busy few weeks with our trip to Harry Potter World, as well as a school trip to Gonzales, Texas. We learned more about Texas' Independence from Mexico. Aka, "Come and Take it." Texans are extremely proud of this battle. The highlight was probably touring a 150 year old jail, (gallows included), that made the hair stand up on the back my neck.
Today is Havah's second to last dissection class at the Health Museum, and the kids will be dissecting an eye. Other than the fetal pig, which is next week, this is the one
I've been dreading the most. (and I'm not even doing the work!) Afterwards Havah and I are headed to get free mini facials at the Origins store. Now that I'm looking forward to!
Happy Friday, everybody!

As always, your days are filled with new learning opportunities and fun with your family. Your dissection comments gave me a flashback to my high school classes and those were not my favorite. hahaha Love your letter board, Hav's curly hair and that your weather has been so lovely. Isn't the Springtime lovely!?! I've seen so many yummy recipes for Pimento Cheese (grilled cheese, burgers, sandwiches, etc) so it makes me want to make my own. I've never attempted to make it from scratch before so I'm on the hunt for a good recipe.
Do you make it? Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
love these pictures !! send more. love you, miss talented !!
Love that last shot of Henry! Miss you guys!
