Life in March 2011



Feb. 28th: We had a tornado come through down the street! Don't worry, this is not my house. I don't believe I ever heard wind sound so loud in my life. Surprisingly the only damage we got was a tree branch snapped from a tree in our backyard. We did lose our power for two days though.






Mar. 1st: Trista turned 9! She chose a shamrock theme for her party. I am a little sad that my baby girl is getting so big on me, but I'm so proud of the young lady she is becoming. :O)






Mar. 2nd: Since Trista has proved that she is responsible enough, her birthday present from us was to get her ears pierced!










Mar. 4th: After reading about Ancient Americans the kids made tepees.








Mar. 7th: Joel loves starfall.com. He would play on the site for hours if I let him. He is still struggling to learn to read. I'm not worried, I'd rather he go at his own pace than me pushing him too hard and causing him to hate reading.





Mar. 8th: After reading about DNA during our science studies we made these yummy edible DNA snacks.




Mar. 17th: We made Irish Soda bread for St. Patrick's Day. The crust turned out a little too hard, but it was yummy none the less.




Mar. 21st: After spending the week discussing tooth care for our Health & Safety topic we made a semi-healthy tooth snack. Kinda' creepy looking I know! We thought it was incredibly tasty.




Mar. 25th: After having some amazingly warm weather (near 80's) and watching all the wonderful signs of spring we got SNOW! I have to say we have had some crazy weather this winter. 15 inch of snow one day tornado warnings the next week. Then actually getting a tornado! It's been wild, I'm hoping for a normal summer, lol.

"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" — C.F. Potter, signer of Humanist Manifesto 1930
