weekend backyard science with daddy

Scott has really opened up to the lifestyle of teaching our kids at home I think. Usually on weekends, he sits at the computer playing T4C or at the tv playing football on his PS3. Well, today we got Dairy Queen for lunch (he's making life easy on me this weekend, I had a procedure done Friday and am still a tad sensitive and sore from it) and in the girls' kids meals were bug houses. They are just little things, about the size of a crayon box with a vented lid and a sliding magnifier on the side. Anyway, Scott took the kids out in the back yard on a bug hunt. They each caught a different bug in their houses, and they are all at the table out back, looking up their bugs in the animal encyclopedia and learning neat tidbits about them. They have been at it for an hour now, and they are LOVING this time with daddy. They got a grasshopper, a millipede, and a ladybug so far. They are even letting Jordan in on the fun, showing her the different bugs and teaching her how to say their names. lol
