What we are doing, reading and playing
May 15th, 2008 at 11:15 pm (Outdoors, Playing, Nature)
We have been shooting hoops (H-man got a new basketball); practicing our golf swing (just a little on the front lawn); filling up the compost bin with scraps collected over the winter months; and spending lots of time outdoors, picnicking and playing with the neighbors.
We have been reading Harry Potter, the Borrowers, and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. We are also reading a d’Aulaire book about Abraham Lincoln and a Holling book, Minn of the Mississippi. The latter two were recommended on the Ambleside Online website. C and W also finished a Hardy Boys book at W’s request.
We saw the second Harry Potter film on DVD last week. It was enjoyed by all except H who is too young to watch the scarier scenes. We just picked up the CD to the Broadway musical Wicked. It sounds really good and I hope to be listening to it a lot over the next few days.
We are playing outside on the swings and trees, taking nature walks in search of painted turtles and birds and just enjoying the great out of doors. This is the one of the best seasons in my neck of the woods and I don’t want to miss it.
