Cy's dad spent most of the night making each of the children in her class "arms" out of bamboo, a rubber glove and a balloon. The awesome arms helped the children learn about muscle systems. THANK YOU Cy's dad!!!

Miss Teagan. Look how much Teagan has grown up. She is the last little princess in pink in the above photo.

We enjoyed our Welcome Back Picnic this Wednesday. A few families were not able to make it. My favorite reason for not coming came from Karen, Douglas and Thomas' mom. The bridge they were going to cross was washed out and they needed to wait another day for it to be rebuilt. I suggested that as homeschoolers, they should have quickly crafted a raft out of debris along the river and float Karen's new minivan across. She thought not. If you were not able to make it yesterday and you have a more adventurous excuse -- feel free to embelish, please post it in comments.

Nina and her mom Leta
