Sissy Update & PBJ Day!

Nana stopped by to check on Sissy and bring her some Strawberries & Milk!!

Nana also brought Alyssa a walker. It was actually a great help for Sissy.

The crutches were awkward and starting to bother Alyssa's arms.

Jackson was so excited to see Nana.  

Do you see his little tail wagging?

Jackson had to jump up and give Nana some love...

and kisses!

Yesterday was NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY DAY!So... that is what we had for lunch!

Sissy enjoyed it with her strawberries and Agua de Horchata!

Her ankle might have been hurting, but her tummy was feeling good!

We took the day off of school and all she did was read & watch old movies!

I am glad that we have the ability to take days off of school without falling behind.

I love homeschooling!

Thanks again Nana for the goodies!

Arriving in Teotihuacan!

We stayed a few days in Teotihuacan!

This was the view from the door of my room.

I love where we stayed.

It had a beautiful garden area that the kids really enjoyed.

They ran around like maniacs while I sat and read in the garden after being in the car for so many hours.

I loved rubbing my feet in the soft grass!

I loved all of the interesting landscaping!

I really enjoyed being here.

This bird let me walk right up to it and take its picture.

This is where we had breakfast.

Science Projects & Garden Update

This year Alyssa is LOVING her Science!

Today she did an experiement on water....

Which is heavier Cold or Hot Water???

She put hot water in the container.

Then she added blue food coloring.

Then she put ice water in a paper cup (Thank You Nana for the cups!)

...and put Yellow food coloring in it!

Then she poked a hole in the bottom of the paper cup and added the cold water to the hot water.

You cant tell from the picture but it was obvious which water was heavier because of the color difference. The top of the container stayed blue and the bottom turned yellow and then Green as the waters mixed.

 Then we switched it and watched the hot water stay at the top of the container as she added it.

She guessed Hot water was heavier, but then she found out that cold water is heavier! I am loving that she was able to SEE the results! It really was a fun and EASY science experiment. She recorded the whole thing in her notebook!!

Also, all of this rain has been GREAT!!

Look at my garden...

These are my little bitty Green Peppers!

My Lettuce is getting HUGE!!

It has Quadrupled in size since it was planted!

 This is my Squash. I just planted these seeds 2 weeks ago!!

And these are my tomato plants! They are BLOOMING, which means I will soon have little red tomato's!! I cant wait!

This garden has been GREAT!!

I am just about to start the next part of it! I have been reading about rotation planting.

The point of that is so that everthing isn't ready all at once. It keeps you from wasting your harvest!

So far, so good! Also, the weeds have been minimal.

I am LOVING my raised bed! It makes it easier to pull the weeds too!
