Spores

Today we were looking at moss so the children can see that they are tiny plants with roots and stems and leaves. They rushed outside to find the moss and had a BLAST looking at it with the hand held microscope they have. That thing is a favorite even though they have a full sized one. :)

We are making spore prints with a mushroom. Hopefully tomorrow we will have something neat to look at! You put the mushroom gills side down and cover with a glass.

We discovered a shoot on our sweet potato!

I found these critters gathered together right outside of the bathroom door. Remy said they were having a club house meeting...

Daddy is off of work tomorrow...but it is a working day for him for photography. The boys and I are planning on a quick school day with lots of swimming and fun to follow! We hope daddy can join us!

That hand-held microscope is so neat! Lindsay has some of those "Pet Shop" toys. She even has a little shop to go with them. She and Remy would get along so well. They are so much alike in so many ways.

Remy has two pet shop houses too! :) Eli loves them as well. *shhh* Rhonda that scope was like 12 bucks I think, do you want the link?

Laura, that means a lot coming from you! ;)

Kristine, THANKYOU!
