Hummingbirds and Seamonkeys!


Well it has been awhile since I have last checked into my blog. With Easter and everything I just haven't made time to sit down and document what we have been doing but it has been tons! First Jonathan is drawing out plans to make a structure to hold his new hummingbird feeder. He has also researched what plants will attract hummingbirds and how much they will cost. Drew got a package of Sea Monkeys and with his big brothers help now has tons of little creatures swimming around a plastic bowl. They are getting bigger I don't know how they are going to fit into this container if they each grow up to 1 inch! Zoie is helping me plant flowers in little pots right now and we will be able to move them outside as the weather gets nicer. Hopefully spring is getting close as we are all tired of the cold and are looking forward to some warmer weather.

On easter we talked about why Easter falls at different times in the year. Did you know that it always fall on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox? So this was the earliest Easter in like 80 years! It can only ever fall one day earlier which is March 22. I think since hubby is Greek Orthodox and celebrates a different Easter we are going to do some research into his church's calander this week.

I know Spring brings so many great learning oppotunities and we can't wait! The picture is of everyone "hatching" the seamonkeys!
