Wow! This week flew by so quickly! So quickly that I didn't have time to blog! Eeek! So here is our weekly update, including our nature time. We had such a great week!
Monday:
Some friends of ours invited us to join them to take a tour of a fire station where their friend works. It was so much fun getting our own private tour. This was the first time my girls had ever been to a fire station.
We also had swim lessons and our first 4-H meeting. So Monday was a busy day!
Tuesday:
We spent the day doing our schoolwork and just being at home since Monday was so busy. Tuesday is our art day and we do a project from this awesome book called Art Lab. This week's project was a small painting on a piece of wood. This was a hit as the girls LOVE painting, and they thought it was super cool to paint on something different.
Wednesday:
For our nature time we just took a walk around the neighborhood, and also checked out all the new plants coming up in our landscaping. Spring is really starting to happen! Oh, and Hannah found a tree to climb so she was happy. That girl LOVES to climb!

The rest of the week went well just doing the usual stuff.
My awesome hubby bought me a tumbling composter from Costco so we did spend some time putting that together. Took me about 4 days as the directions weren't quite as helpful as they should have been. Ha! But it is done now. Hannah was a super helper for most of it. She was even using a wrench to tighten bolts and I helped her use the drill. Ellie helped for the first bit handing us parts. When she got tired of that she became our photographer.

Saturday the girls planned, practiced and performed a dance for all of us. They did several songs and did a great job! Of course I didn't get any pictures of the dance. Did get a picture of the cute poster they made to advertise. They even made little tickets for everyone. Love their creativity!
This weekend I took the girls to a gem and mineral show. It was so neat to see all the different rocks and minerals and gems, from calcite to quartz to agates and more! They loved it and we got some cool rocks in a little grab bag to bring home. When we got home they pulled out their magnifying glasses to examine all that we brought home.

We had a super awesome week and are on track to have another one. It is Spring Break for James so we are taking Spring Break from our homeschool this week too and heading up to the mountains for some hiking and fun for a couple days. Can't wait!
Have a wonderful week!
Blessings!
