We checked out several books from the library about it so that was our focus today.

DS4 and I did some more tracing of lines and shapes. I am using a book that I got from somewhere Susannah suggested......the name is......Brighter Vision, yes that is it. Anyway, DS4 is enjoying it.

DS7 had art class. He brought some projects home today. He drew the Mona Lisa, getting hit in the head with a golf ball. Not sure what that was about. We haven't really had time to discuss it. Kinda funny to me.

A Killdeer (bird) has layed her eggs in some rocks next to the parking lot at my mother's bank. We have watched it for 2 days now. First one egg, then two. From our reading we know she should lay 2 more. They are beautiful aqua colored eggs with brown specks. The bird, I would like to call her Mona, is a hoot to watch. We really are having a wonderful opportunity to learn more hands on about this bird. We get to see what she does when someone gets to close, we have watched her leave to go and get herself some food. They really are neat bird. We went to the library today and checked out some books on Killdeer and I have found a few things on the net. The eggs should hatch in about 24-26 days. Fun! FUN!

Here is a link that gives a brief tid bit!
