Right now the kids and I are at the library again. This weeks class is on animals, and the KC zoo is here with some of their animals. Right now I see the guy holding up a large snake, so I am glad I am here at the computers and not in the classroom. Snakes are not my thing.
This works perfect with the animal books we have been making at home. Each child has a notebook and each week they have to research a new animal, put in a picture and fill out a form about the animal. So far I think they each have around 30 animals. They like it so they usually do more than my required 1 a week. This is part of our science.
My parents have been here the last few days. My dad is doing some "chores" for us--electrical ones. He is installing one ceiling fan, repairing another, and checking out electrifing our chicken coop.
Meanwhile, last weekend we had our party--hayride and bonfire. It went well. The weather was perfect for it. Out of all the games and such we had set up, the big hits were the BB gun shooting contest and my chickens. Everyone seemed to be holding a chicken as I would look around. I guess chickens were a novelity to a lot of the guest as they are what we call "city people".

Oh, that's a riot about the chickens. Glad they made the party interesting.
