It's raining today and the kids and I are stuck inside, which after spending a week camping, we are very stir crazy!

Camping was fun. The kids never napped during the day which made bedtime sooo much easier. C brought a microscope that he found at the Sunnyside Co-op clothing exchange and was mesmerized for hours looking at things under it.

Eric found a huge toad on the road and brought it home to the campsite. As soon as the batteries are charged, I'll upload some pics.

C then found a frog in the creek and tried to catch it. Gosh darn frog was too fast and C got frustrated too easily. It was obviously nap time but he didn't want to admit it.

I think M's favorite thing was roasting marshmallows over the campfire. She is very independent lately and her favorite words were "I get it". She wouldn't even let me try and keep the mellow out of the ash for her. (rolls eyes)

I started knitting a little vest for M while camping, decided to abandon the longies that I started before going camping, cause they were not wanting to "look right" for me so I said forget it and decided to let them sit for a bit, I might frog them latter.

C decided he wants to go to school and talks about it, but we are hanging tough and going forward with homeschooling. Well more like unschooling. He's using the computer for some alpha games, his wipe off board that he practices his letters on, and his leapster games.

M is still learning to use the potty. It's easier for her to go without clothes on and then she'll use the potty. If she has a diaper on she'll use it and the take it off saying wet. She won't go number 2 though in a diaper, she'll find a toilet for it. And since camping, she likes to go potty outside. She's mastered the squat! At least she's not afraid of dropping her drawers and going.

I went with the name MamaHen for my crafty creations. I've also started a new blog for it, I'm still trying to upload pics and stuff for it.

M woke from her nap so back to parenting.....
