cabin

 on wed i took the kids back to the cabin, for our 2nd last week of school.  we found this wasp and after watching it we let it go

 then hit the books to finish up some school

 they work so well at the cabin!

 ive decided that this week is our last week for school. the weather is turning nice and im done with it.  i will keep working with the girls on science to finish up the book, but im thinking only at the cabin.  nate has 1 more book report to write and he's done too.  next yr we will pick up the slack!

 i read this on 1 day. so good!  its about the children that were kidnapped to start the perfect race.  ive never read about this topic before. it was totally worth the 9.00 i spent on it! 

 chris arrived thurs with a surprise for me!!!  a swing!  he got it off kijiji for 25.00!  theres no cushions but ill make it work, we put the bug net around it and i set up a school area, we spent our school time outside.

 their little work table

 and a blanket too!

 my outdoor school room...protected from the bugs. which have arrived!  yikes!!!!

 sun we had friends visit us at the cabin.  i havent seen them in 4 yrs!  it was SOOOOO nice catching up and picking up where we left off.  we went for a walk in the woods and i found this cute little fern, its all rolled up!  corse now i have to google it to find out what it is!

 then it was time to bath the pigs!  ellie takes great care of them.  first thing she does every day is change the water and feed them.  she loves animals and i can see her having lots on the future!

 i wanted to do something nice for nate to thank him for watching the girls with out complaining or asking for payment.  i finally knew what to get him as a thank you!

 digging in

 burgers!  juice and watermelon!  he was so impressed.  thanks buddy for ALL that you do!  you are so loved and i am so proud of the young man you are turning out to be.  he's almost and i mean like less than in inch way from being taller than me!
