Splitting Locust Posts

It's dawning on me why our family doesn't have a lot of need for planned curriculum-related activities in our home school....

I was reading the book Shades of Gray by Carolyn Reeder to the boys. In the chapter I had just finished reading, the uncle and nephew had been making fence. What did my boys proceed to go out to do? Yep. Make fence! Only it just happened that way; they didn't decide to make fence because of what they'd been reading.




Uh oh. I spy trouble up ahead...and I can prove they weren't working the ENTIRE time. :)

Yep, Josh climbed the tree he'd been eyeing.

And of course the others couldn't miss a photo-op.

And officially meet Elam. He's been working for us. He's not one for a lot of pictures, so this is it for now.

(Almost) Free Landscaping

With a little pile of cast off sandstones and some gravel I embezzled from the farm, I turned a big eyesore into something a little less so.
