Seriah says if you compare the solar eclipse to Sea World the solar eclipse wins. I love that this girl loves science. We watched the Solar Eclipse this year from Rexburg, Idaho at the kids Grandparents house. It was so worth taking them up for it.

It's All It's Cracked Up To Be
August 12, 2017
It's our first official egg. It is cracked from being laid on a hard surface. So we cracked it into Tupperware to keep in the fridge until tomorrow. The kids are now arguing over who gets to eat it and they more than willingly fell all over each other to help get the nesting boxes all settled with chopped straw for the hens.

Nature Study is Saving Mom's Sanity
August 11, 2017
Nature Study and a husband who thinks it is important for the kids do saved my sanity today. All five kids trooped out the door holding their nature notebooks, colored pencils and giant excited smiles. While I get to have a few minutes to just breath before they return. I love that I have such a supportive husband.

Oh the Whining!
August 10, 2017
Day 4 of school finished. Kids are in the tub. I have so little brain power left I couldn't even come up with anything to do on Minecraft. I sure hope my younger two kiddos can discover the joy of knowledge soon, because the constant "I'm all done with school" or the "I don't want to do school" whine has about done me in.

Caught in the Act
June 11, 2017
You know you are doing something right when summer break starts and your kids decide to re-read Shakespeare for fun without you. I just found out Treysen and Clarissa are reading 12th Night together just because they want to.

"I Need to Paint. That is My Job."
May 9, 2017
So Kyrilene came to me this afternoon when quiet time was over. I had just finished telling all the kids to pick their next thing from their lists for school, and she says: "Mom, I need to paint. That is my job." I loved this and she had a great time watercoloring scribbles all over her paper.
It reminded me of a quote that I love and wanted to share: "We might as well declare that a child should not speak unless he put his words into poetry, as to declare that he should not draw because his drawings are not artistic." Anna Botsford Comstock
What an wonderful reminder that a toddlers self expression with paints is just as important to her as my own artistic pursuits and attempts are to me.

The Chicks Get Names
April 5, 2017
So the kids have been naming our baby chicks. I told each of them they could pick one to name and I even suggested thing like fried and nugget and BBQ. Haha. The kids were less then impressed. So far they have given me the following:
and then there is Jeremiah's. He came to me and said mom I picked a name for my chicken. He also picked a white Delaware one and he said "That is Green Goblin" then he starts giggling. So my thought for the day:
