Awesome Outdoors/Boys and Sticks!!

Boys and Sticks!!

I suppose it is just the simplicity of it all that I love the best, boys and their sticks!! I tried for many years to NOT let him play with sticks. The whole, you'll poke your eye out concept. But by and by, that is the only thing that he was truly interested in, while playing outside! He twirls, jumps, flies through the air, marches, and so on. Just he and his stick! I don't know if it's just a mom thing, but oh how I love to just simply sit and watch, my boy with his stick. I just happily gaze out the window to see what he will do next, with that stick and incredible imagination of his.

Back to Basics- A reason for Writing-The new Pen-Pal

The new Pen-Pal

In this digital, on-line age, I think some very important things have been left by the wayside. We forget the importance of the written word, and how invaluable it has been, and still should be. In instilling these believes we began searching for a reason to write!

Luckily, through our unit curriculum program, and Facebook forum, we have found a pen-pal for RootBeer...Yeah!!

The only things we know so far are that he is the same age, and lives in a different state 1,260 miles away!

Today we are going to get back to basics by purchase stamps, envelops, and writing paper to get started!!
