It is almost time for us to pack our suitcases and head over to Germany for another visit, the second one this year! I am trying really hard not to be stressed out by our travel preparations.
The children and I worked in our community garden this week, mostly weeding and looking at all the plants that are coming up, and thriving for the most part! Gardening is exciting, and hard work, for sure. I don't think we'll be here for the harvest, though, which is disappointing. However, we are becoming more and more experienced, and one day we will have a garden in our own backyard.
We gathered up all the weeds and fed them to CJ, a donkey that lives on the property. He ate some, but we still had plenty of weeds left over to put in our compost bin at home.
I've been working mostly on language arts with the children. Some reading comprehension with Annika, and learning about locational prepositions and conjunctions with Christopher. Lily is working on letter recognition and counting.
