Busy day…
We had a busy day! First we saw a production of “Peter and the Wolf” at the Children’s Theatre, then we were off to the Science Center for biology class. Our next stop was the library(one of the kid’s favorite places!). The weather was beautiful today! Thanks be to God for all of His blessings on us!

The calm after the storm…
It is a beautiful day today…filled with God’s goodness. We are thankful for the nice weather! We are thinking of and praying for all the families affected by Friday’s storms. We have a busy week planned for “Surrounded by Grace”. Our lenten mission is four evenings this week. We are also planning to attend a performance of “Peter and the Wolf” at the Children’s theatre! It is always fun watching the children perform. Spring is in the air. I can see the buds of the azaleas popping open into color. Thank you God for all things living!
Thought for the day:
“When we look at the cross, we realize how He loved us–only love could have made Him do that. When we look at the tabernacle, we know how He loves us now. He loves you and He loves me. He made Himself Bread of Life to satisfy our hunger for His love.”
~~Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Have a blessed day!

Exploring…
Today was a beautiful sunny day in the southeast! So, we went to the backyard for some much needed exploring! Christopher found some bugs underneath the leaves. We always called them roly polys as kids, but they are actually called “pill bugs”. He was asking a lot of questions about this little “tickle” bug as he called it. He put it on his hand and let it crawl all over! I found this site to help better understand this little “tickle” bug!

Acorns…and leaves!!
Today we had an art lesson about Fall and acorns…

Then we decided to trek to the outdoors and collect some acorns in our front yard…
Christopher decided he would like to see what is inside an acorn…
width="179" height="300" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-867" />
…which resulted in this…

…and he says…”it looks like a peanut inside!”

Then we talked about leaves…

…and why they change color…
