Schooling on a Spring Day

I thought I would update our homeschooling blog now that the rain has been here for days on end. I love stormy weather, but I have been itching for sunshine and flowers with my whole soul, lately. :)

During our day of school outside we watched a very funny little squirrel. He was eating up the seeds from our tree and would hang upside down to get them. I think he did it for the pure enjoyment of it, because he could have just went to the next branch. :)

Remy started his 3rd reader of his first grade year that day and wanted to pose with his coke that daddy has treated him with because it was summer. *laugh* Silly Remy!

I spread out our two Mickey Mouse blankets on a sunny patch and we laid on it with bare feet and worked away the day. :)

The puppies were more than happy to sit with us and they gave us lots of loving while we were at their level. I never saw two little tails wiggle so much. :) Oh but how I do love a puppy doggie!

Rommie was her usual sweet but lazy self. :)

I bet you can't tell who she belongs too...

Remy drew a bulls-eye on the little "stove" by the pool and had himself a little target practice with his water gun. He later made a little fire in it and cooked his veggie hot dog in it. :)

That little squirrel and the wonderful wind that blew that day showered us with those little seeds. They were everywhere. We collected some to sprout in a napkin for later.

Piper was very happy to have her beloved mommy person outside with her. I got many sweet doggie kisses and watched her chase everything or inspect everything. :) Those brown eyes get me!

I have to share this photo of how LONG she is. :)

Remy has discovered how to hang upside down. He turns into his favorite animal more and more each day. *giggle*

That little squirrel hanging upside down is just too cute, but Remy hanging upside down is even cuter! LOL!

We have been having some lessons outdoors also, and so many flowers are blooming here. My little vegetable plants are surely growing with all of this rain we have been having. Your day outdoors with the puppies looks like a wonderful day!

Sophia would be ALL OVER Piper! While we were on vacation she had to pet every single little dog we saw. She especially likes Chihuauas and Daschunds though... and she wants to keep hers in a purse :o)
