Today we did our book work and then went to town. Alex watched the kids while I did a temple session with my dad and brother. We then had lunch with then. Later the kids and I went to the Natural History Museum. I think we will go there quite a bit. They are learning more every time they go. It's fun to see them interested in History. They also have a lot of science exhibits too.

Septermber 17, 2009 (Thursday)
Today was crazy! We had our scholar class which has been changed to Thursdays now. Scouts and Activity Days have also been changed to Thursdays. I am over all the scouts because I'm in the Primary Presidency and I'm the Activity Days leader. I'm not sure how all of that happened. We are still having bumpy start getting scouts going this year so it's been a fiasco. I've been subbing in there on weeks when I'm not working with the girls. We also had a meeting after wards to plan pack meeting.
We did not have Mom School today. We did buy a new saddle today so we are making progress on our "let's own 82 acres and be ranchers plan." One thing at a time right?

Science: Read a chapter in Science: A Closer Look by Macmillan/McGraw-Hill. The kids also watched several Brain Pop, Jr. videos on line about a variety of science topics.
PE/Science: We worked on our 80+ acres for several hours "clearing land." I feel like the Steeds sometimes. I've never moved so much brush, trees and limbs in my life as in the last couple of weeks. Today, since we were moving old fence posts, we saw over 20 very big man-eating Hobo spiders. We also saw lots of mice and lots of other creepy crawlies. It was very exciting for the kids and the dogs. (When we came home we looked up a lot of different spiders to try and identify some of the ones we saw). Caleb's highlight was that he was stung by two bees/wasps. He has a pobia about bee stings to begin with, so this was not a good moment for him.

September 9, 2009 (Wednesday): It's writing time
I can't even begin to tell you how painfully screwed up our day was. Later on I realized half the things we forgot. I don't think I was functioning on a full brain level today. That's okay though! Luke and Olivia started a ten-week writing course that's 2 1/2 hours long. We thought it was in the afternoon, but found out it was this morning. Jared went to Salt Lake with Alex to take Alex's sister to the MTC....

Song: Called to Serve and My Body is a Temple

Current Events: Today we watched the broadcast by Pres. Obama to the school children of American. We had quite the lively discussion about socialism, environmentalism, discrimination, pushing agendas. All I could see in my mind was a picture of Mao's Red China. Scary. And people don't even see it.

History/Science: Went to the Herret Center, a Natural History Museum. We had a very fun visit. It focused on Central American/Mayan history and animals. We've been several times over the years, but this was a good visit. They had some computers set up and we played Mayan games and puzzles for a while.
Science: Played "Spin the Bottle." I made questions out of all the vocab
ulary words and subjects we have learned so far this year and put them inside the bottle and they had to answer the question if it landed on them. They REALLY liked it. We'll add more questions and keep playing as the year goes on.
Science Experiment: "Magic Gas" Fill a plastic bottle 1/3 of the way full with warm water. Add a package of yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Swirl to mix. Then place a balloon over the top securely. Wait and watch as the balloon magically rises. (We helped ours along because it said to place in a warm window sill. We had no warm window sill today. So we turned the oven on and just them on top of the oven). Point: Since yeast is a plant the carbon di
oxide from it rises and causes the balloon to rise as well.
Science Observation: We looked through the telescope at Jupiter and its four moons. (tonight)
