Learning isn't just Monday through Friday...

Yesterday, we decided to tear down the only sunflower we were able to grow this year since it was becoming an eye sore.  We saved the "head" and I showed the kids all the seeds inside and how perfectly aligned they all were.  Then we broke it into halves so everyone got a piece and did what we could to get the seeds all out.  The kids had fun shaking their pieces!  Austin wasn't happy that there were still some left so he sat there and picked each and every one of those seeds out.  When we were done, we threw them in the flower garden for the birds!  Next year we're hoping to grow many more sunflowers since they're SO pretty!  The best part--the kids participated in a science activity yesterday without even realizing it!

School pictures!

Today Mike and I took the kids to Searles and Lockwood Park to see if we could snap any "school" pictures worth saving.  I'm not that great behind a camera, but I think I did pretty well!!  Family can feel welcome to save these and print them out at home if they would like to!
