Yes, you make me feel like dancing....

What has me in such a mood?  Well, life at the moment does.  As I look back on our school year I see that we have done a lot even though I thought it was not much.  We have kept up with our nature studies.  We are always on the lookout for a new bird, plant, animal anything nature.  We had some fun nights using the Crayola glow in the dark chalk.  
Even though some are camera shy we have fun in our venture of helping those that are deaf. 
 It was a cold day and we are still out helping the deaf. This was a cold, windy day and yes, I have two glasses on my head.  One for the sun and one to read.  No fun getting old.  Oh well....
We are learning a new language as a family.  American Sign Language is a beautiful language and it's right up my alley.  Didn't you know I like to act up?  ASL is perfect for acting and performing.   
We also had  "farm boy" out with us one day and I happened to find a wheat field.  So "farm boy" gets out to show my middle son the wheat.  Son and "farm boy" got some left over wheat from the side of the road and got the seeds out.  

So yes I feel like dancing at all we have learned this past year.  There is so much more I haven't posted but this is a sneak peak at some of our fun.  

The Soap Lady

A friend of ours makes soaps as their business.  Homeschool families are so creative.  I love the Almond Oatmeal soap.  My order is in and getting it Sunday since that is the only day we will see each other for some time.

Pool Time again

It's pool time again.  The boys are enjoying trying to get the highest jumps they can.  Not much else to do outdoors when its hot and muggy out there.   
I passed by a home in town and just can't get over how long this small area has lasted.  I still see those poppy flowers out there.  Reminds me of my trip to California and friends.
We have also had so many bunnies outside.  It's crazy.  We hadn't seen so many in forever.  I think it's the drought that has them coming closer to home and eating what little bits of our grass we have left.  My youngest loves going out there to see how close he can get to them.  Not much closer than that before they speed away.
 
By the way our berries are all gone because of the heat and bunnies.  We did enjoy our berry cobblers though.  

Our lives are still full of things to do.  We still have lots going on in our volunteer service.  Our ASL is going great.  We all keep learning more and more.  We can carry on a conversation with the deaf friends we have.  

There is my little update for now.
