I used to be terrified to go to the beach myself with these guys...

Spilling the Beans and Other Mischief

My tree climbers at it Again!

I made the kids a sensory bin... Here's how it ended up:

Found these two guys cuddling in the middle of the night. I thing Son was on his way to my room, got tired and took a nap:

I was cooking and it was too quiet... I discovered the group pulling a dining chair onto my bed.

Wiz was scooping some beans after he got done his art project...can you tell?

And then it all went down hill...

I think it's better keeping these guys busy outdoors...no messes! 

 

Our yard has a mascot named Monte:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Ms. McTats Cats

Our newest Ivy Kid Kit came in the mail and it was Ms, McTats theme...

So they painted cat banks:

Did 100 cat stamps:

Retold the story with figures:

Made puppets and did a puppet show:

Played a cat board game:

Did a word family activity:

And played cat breed bingo:
 

We are in a homeschool group on Thursdays so we hit the playground last week before class:
 

The boys love this dual swing:
 

We found a wasp nest for our nature collection:

Jekkyl island has the best kept secret ever! When you walk down the path after parking  and walk around the corner, the place literally takes your breath away.

Tabby Ruins

While looking for a lunch spot on th way home from Jekkyl Island, we spotted the Tabby Ruins. An old sugar mill, nearly 200 years old:

We decided the ruins were a bit scary for lunch, so we went down the road to Crooked River State Park. A great park I'd like to camp at some day:
