"our house"

Right in "our" very "own neighborhood" is one of Oklahoma City's newest and coolest libraries.  With it being VERY much walking distance from "our house" (when i say "our house" i mean my in-laws;) we had lots of plans to walk there multiple times a week...wellllll it being the heart of winter since we moved back in mid January we haven't had many opportunities to do so thus far (it feels very weird to load everyone up in the car to drive around the corner, but I guess its necessary when its a wind chill of 30 degrees and snow on the ground). But we finally got the chance to do it the other day and today was definitely beautiful enough to walk to the library, and we had plans to...but poor Piper woke up at midnight sick and was running a fever all day...lets just hope Oklahoma will stop acting like...welll...Oklahoma...and just STAY beautiful from here on out!  fat chance...i know;)

trying to think outside the box...

Piper has been working hard at learning how to cut lately...shes getting there:)  So the other morning instead of our usual practice paper i had her cut up some bread into little pieces to take to our pond to feed the ducks!  She loved it and was so proud to feed the ducks the breakfast that SHE made for them!  all the while learning how to cut!  Just a little idea for any other homeschool-preschool mommies out there:)
