Lots of odds and ends to write about from the week. But first and foremost, WE GOT SNOW!!! Just a few wet flakes, but enough to dance in this morning for a few minutes. This may be the last time we see snow for several more years, so we enjoyed every moment.
Sarah studying about viruses from Lyrical Life Science, which is our favorite science book.
The kids wanted to draw dragons on Tuesday to help celebrate "Appreciate a Dragon Day". Their illustrations turned out great, but I'm having trouble downloading the scan onto the blog. Hopefully, I'll figure it out and post them soon.
Today we went to a local grocery store for a field trip with some friends. We discovered that people actually buy and eat celery root, enjoyed some free samples,
and bought a bag of groceries to help out a local food bank.
Tomorrow is National Popcorn Day, and we found a fun recipe to help celebrate, as well as the books "The Popcorn Book" by Tomie dePaola and "Popcorn at the Palace" by Emily Arnold McCully, and a cute poem to read while we eat:
A Popcorn Song
Sing a song of popcorn
When the snowstorms rage;
Fifty little round men
Put into a cage.
Shake them till they laugh and leap
Crowding to the top;
Watch them burst their little coats
Pop!! Pop!! Pop!!

This is what Katherine does while I help the older kids with school. Don't you want to just kiss on those sweet cheeks?!?
