A Warm Up

A good warm up in the temperature today meant that we could do several things. One was give the ferrets a much needed bath. The kids handled that. Another was that we could spend some time at the lake without freezing. It was a balmy 50 degrees farenheight!

The boys read their news. They have really enjoyed getting their own copies of God's World News this year. I didn't go exactly with the age ranges suggested for each magazine but spread it out a little more so that each child could have a unique version of the newspapers. Tristan gets Early Edition, Colin-Taking Off, Hayley-News Current and Trevor Top Story. This has been a fun addition to our homeschooling, they like getting their own newspapers.

Homeschoolers were in the news today on tv so we made sure to watch that. There is legislation in place to try and put much stricter requirements on homeschoolers in our state. We couldn't get to the State house to protest this due to the timing, we were thrilled to see the huge turnout though!

I'll Help you with that math Tristan, the ferret says!

The afternoon was spent outdoors sledding and at the lake.

The boys were having a snowball fight. Tristan went indoors and got on his ski helmet and goggles for protection. Good thinking Tristan!

At the lake

Freeze loved fetching sticks in the lake during the summer, he is thrilled with this massive stick pile left from a broken tree back during the ice storms. Freeze seems to think all these sticks on the ice were put there just for him!
