Queen of the Castle

My daily thoughts are shared with you so that the boys will no longer see me walking around the house talking to myself!

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

In addition...

...to the Dinosaur hunts pictured below, we have had more events of note. Particularly, the ever-increasing-in-size hole in my backyard. You see, Brennan has been digging for gold.

At first I thought "How cute! After all, they are using plastic shovels. How big could this get, anyway?" Silly, naive me. Never underestimate the determination of boys! This hole is approaching 18 inches wide and at least a foot deep. With plastic sand shovels!

No gold has been found yet, however, expectation still runs high. I get asked "Is this gold?" several times each day. My dear husband may pull all mining rights from this project soon, however.

I can credit this boyhood ingenuity to the Sonlight book "The Secret Valley" by Clyde Robert Bulla. Needless to say, we are enjoying our curriculum this year immensely!

That is absolutely fantastic!

Back in the day my siblings and I dug a fairly large hole in our backyard, but we used "real" shovels. That's amazing.

May this year continue to be your best yet!
