Owls

I LOVE these sketches!!

Goose is studying owls! We've seen some beautiful owls at the local zoo. I found an article about some burrowing owls here in the Bay Area, so Goose sent an email to the mayor's office asking the city to protect these wonderful birds. She made some adorable sketches of some of her favorite owls. I found an amazing book about a student who adopts an owl named wesley and falls in love with him. You can find it here. Goose read this book pretty quickly. She, too, fell in love with Wesley!

We also watched a great movie called Owl Cam: The Hidden World. This is a fantastic look at the day to day life of an owl family. Highly recommended!!!

We went looking for some more local burrowing owls at a park near our house. No luck yet, though. Next we will be reading some owl mythology and looking at owls in art.

sewing and the skatepark

Goose has been speding a lot of time at her sewing machine. She picked out some very pretty fabrics and an apron pattern with Grandma the other day. Then she went to the other Grandma's house and learned to cut and put together the pattern. She had a GREAT time!

This is a photo of her first apron!!

Binky has discovered how much fun it is to ride his bike at the skatepark. Not to mention more painful when he falls! But he sucks it up and gets on again. He could stay there all day long!

Daddy always takes him so I haven't seen him on his bike yet. Seeing some of the scrapes and bruises he comes home with, I'm not sure I could handle it!

spring is near

While the kids were in their Wednesday classes, Daddy and I went for a walk in the surrounding neighborhood. It was a beautiful day! The sun was shining and it was in the 70s! There were signs of Spring everywhere!! Blossoms are blooming and bees are buzzing!!

It is supposed to rain all next week.

Spring is definitely on its way!
