Too funny about your daughter and her piano teacher, Kerri. My kids like classical music and religious music and music from their favorite Disney movies, but they don't listen to much else. I don't think they have any idea who Britney is, which is just fine with me.

I totally agree with the back to nature thing. One of the best things about our move to Texas is that we now have 1 1/2 acres for the kids to run and play. There is a creek lined with trees at the back of our property (this is off limits without an adult), so they go back with their Dad a lot and find all kinds of wildlife there. We have frogs, lizards, turtles, rabbits, squirrels and various birds to enjoy. And of course, the bull that occasionally escapes from the farm on the other side of the creek and manages to get over here somehow. When we first moved here the girls were scared of every animal they saw, but now they love going out and catching things to look at more closely. Ok, there's science, right?
