New Additions!!




Princess Padme, our bearded dragon, had her first eggs last night. Altogether she laid 25 and then proceeded to bury them. After she was through, I put the eggs in Perlite and then into an incubator set at 84 degrees. Now, we have to wait about 60 to 70 days. The kids want them to hatch today.

Here are some pictures of Boga, the proud father. He is a German Giant and Orange Sunset cross.

Let me know if you would be interested as they should be old enough to sell by the end of July or first of August. They are extremely healthy since we have used the proper lighting, vitamins and feeding schedule for them.

A Place for us All






Here are pictures of each dc's desk area. Each child has a desk space, which I have found works good to keep everyone on task and focused. Dusty is modeling for the picture too. I have two bookcases for books and teacher guides behind and beside my desk. Great things are happening in this room!!

Also, Mom gets the USA map behind her desk area and has the vantage point to keep an eye on the whole room!!

Spring Cleaning in our School Room






I've been working at decluttering all week. Here is our school room as clean as it will be in a while. We have a table in the center of the room where we work together on things like history, art, etc. Then, you can see my 4 ft table I have at a counter level so I can put my teacher's books on it and go over lessons on the white board. Of course, the white board is "tile board" made during a discussion on the WTM message board.
Our computer center is by my desk so I can keep an eye on internet activity. And, finally you see one of our many pets, Oreo. He is litter box trained and hops around the room as we study.

Going Birdie!!







At the Riverbanks Zoo in South Carolina, we got to feed the birds nectar. Obviously they were really hungry. The weather was a perfect 72 and we had a terrific time with our homeschool group.
