Herpetology after Dark


Did ya know Spring Peeper Frogs live in the Southeast? From Florida to GA. Did ya know that a 6.5 yr old fascinated with frogs could identify one before her mother could google it??

We had a visitor tonight.

I found the frog peeking in the window tonight... M identified it. She truly loves frogs and knows almost everything about them.... I feel a grow a frog kit coming on!

Baad Blogger - Artistic Kid!

Wow, apparently I'm a bad blogger these days. Sorry! Been ultra busy, doing what I don't know but each day happens so fast it is over before I get a chance to think. Guess that is good in some respects - but bad in others! Oh well! Here is the token post! :)

After the round of the flu, we signed up with the local homeschool group for a trial class - Art, with Ms. B., lemme tell ya, I think we'll do a few more classes with her though maybe not art, just because we have another equally good source for Art ... but we'll see! DD is doing her 2nd print of Vincent Van Gogh's - Starry Night. She did one this past Spring, at the local Park's and Rec Art class. The new one has a very different focus from the one on the left, it will be somewhat smaller, but is equally neat because they are both so very different. You can actually see a change in confidence in her painting abilities. Sadly it will be at least a week before I can display her 2nd masterpiece because it isn't done yet.
