Wildlife -- in our backyard!

On the 3rd of Sep. Taylor finds a toad in the yard -- the next day we trap an opossum!! Pretty exciting two days:) We were trying to capture and relocate a groundhog in our yard -- we were very surprised to find the opossum in the trap!!!

The opossum was verrryyy lethargic!! Not sure if we woke him up, but I think that we could have actually pet the thing (but no, we did not).

September -- science

On the 2nd of September our science co-op gathered to put the final touches on our Periodic Table lapbook (a few more minor details need to be completed -- a picture will be posted soon). This wrapped our study of Chemistry. Next stop --->>> Physics!!

August -- school

We started school on the last day of August. Behind the kids you will see my new school tool -- workboxes:)

August -- beach

Another successful trip to Dewy Beach in Delaware!!! We love it here. We spent three nights at the Surf Club and had the pleasure of spending time with friends from VA (2 separate families were in the area the same time that we were there).

Greg's sand pyramid creation!! It is so fun to dig and create in the sun -- no matter what the age:)

August -- creativity

Abby used her creative juices to make the kids look like chefs!!! It was a great way for them bide their time as mom and dad were packing for a trip to the beach!!
