Goooooaaaaaal!!! and Chicken Update


I finally got to watch Alex ref a game for more than a few minutes today. Here he is, doing his job. Somebody just scored a goal. All the kids had games today, with no scheduling conflicts. This is good because I get to watch (and coach) them all, but it also makes for a very long morning. I was at the field from 8 am til about 2 pm. I'm beat, but now I have to go buy Bekah a birthday present. We're going to try to squeeze in a small birthday celebration between chicks and baby and soccer and softball, and, oh yeah, the Ravens game (that's our football team around here).

The baby chicks are now out of their rocker and ready for hatching. We have 17 eggs that are potential chickens. We tossed 4 or 5 that were obviously not going to hatch. I'm curious to see if the two white eggs hatch into white chickens. Monday we should start seeing some hatching action. We might as well forget school for a while. It just seems to be getting in the way of all the other neat things going on right now.

All those other neat things ARE school. We had a great year when my son Ben was born. We borrowed a baby scale, weighed and measured him, wrote about his progress and had all kinds of fun. What better hands on project is there than a new baby? Or new chicks? Keep up with math, write about your adventures, and-Voila!- School!
