crafts and bugs

Today has been one of those great days that makes you want to stay at home. Our bible focus this week has been on Joshua. As soon as the boys awoke, we built Jericho with our MegaBlocks, marched around it seven times and destroyed it. The best part about our little Jericho was that we could rebuild it several times. There is nothing more fun for the boys than marching, singing and destroying, especially while still wearing jammies.

I did learn today that looking for insects outside isn't the best lesson plan for studying the letter "I" when it is the second week in November and we had our first frost two nights ago. They just don't exist any more. Instead, we had a good time looking at sweetgums and acorns with our big magnifiying glass. Scooter still thinks the word "insect" starts with the letter N - makes sense to me. Boy, the English language is so hard to learn! Maybe we should focus on igloos.

In all our fun, we didn't take any pictures. I tried to get one of Roo while he was wearing his jacket with a hood. His little face is just so cute, but he wouldn't pose. I'll work on getting some tomorrow.
