Owl Houses 5/2010

The first crack of sunshine we set to biulding

Owl nesting boxes.

This time I made a jig, to make things easier.

The kids did a great job working with power tools.
they worked in pairs, one held the pieces,
the other drilled the pieces .

the weather was great, the kids did a great job.
I hope the owls will be happy.

And we are also doing owl lapbooks, and owl pellets.

1st dance 5/2010

This is the only picture I was allowed to

get at the girls first school dance.

They must have had fun, cause they went

to the 2nd one, which I wasn't allowed

to take any pictures.

The ones that put on the dance did a great job.

thanks for doing the dance

and keeping it fun and safe for our kids.

Butterfly spring 2010

In the fall last year, we found some really cool looking

caterpillars. We brought one home and let the others free.

with in hours of bringing it home, it turned into a cocoon.

We checked it everyday, then this spring, we came home

one day, and found the container on the floor,

with this inside.

IIt was really beautiful.This is the under side.

Here is a little video before we turned it free.
