Tabbi broke her leg!

We were decorating the Christmas tree this morning and Tabbi was excited. She was spinning in a circle in the living room. Her foot stopped spinning but the momentum kept her body moving. Her leg twisted until it snapped! OUCH! Now she will have a cast until sometime after Christmas.

Thanksgiving! and the new grandbabies! :)

Better than candy!

I don't know WHY people were looking at me funny. Just because my five-year-old was standing in the frozen food isle, jumping up and down and yelling,"Yipee! I LOVE brussels sprouts!"

This is what Kermit looks like today! He decided to protect me from a skunk this morning when I went for my walk. I TOLD him to leave it alone! PeeeYouuu!!

Tabbi's prize winning photo!

This is a picture of Kermit that Tabbi took for a contest they had at the library. She won a prize with it! She won a digital picture frame necklace.

This is the photo I took. I didn't win anything! :)

Microscope class!

We got together with two other homeschooling families during the past few weeks and did a microscope class. This is Nathanael and Tabbi checking out their specimens! They looked at a lot of things, including spider legs, crystals, and hair!

My 30th class reunion

My, aren't we a classy bunch! I think there were 24 of us present. I wonder what happened to the other 120...

Raccoon

This little critter broke my bird feeder! The next day, Kermit found it up the rafters of our garage.

We went to Camp Forest Springs for a field trip with our homeschool group. Tabbi went on a 5 senses hike, a hay ride and made plaster of paris castings of animal footprints.
