Global Warming
It was 82 degrees in my yard today...in the SHADE! I hope this is not an indicator of what's to come.
Amy and Emily are winding down their visit, they will be leaving this Thursday. We have had a great time sight seeing and getting to know each other again. Emily has thoroughly enjoyed the yard and trampoline. We have had the chance to play in the snow and the sunshine!
We visited the Calvert Marine Museum last week and got to see seahorses up close. They have a large open tank of rays and skates and we watched them for the longest. It was as though they were playing with us. One of the skates just stayed still but would wink evrytime you looked his way. We also met Bubbles and Squeak, the resident otters. Talk about playful! The museum has large collection of fossils and bones which of course intrigued Retta. She was able to talk with an archaeology volunteer who was sifting through sand from the Miocene Period, looking for snail fossils...all the kids got to bring one home.
Musa has been busily working on his spelling. He came up with an idea that we could have daily IM sessions and by doing more writing it may improve his spelling. He is even using a dictionary. It is always to insightful to watch the kids come up with their own ways of learning.
