HomeschoolShare.com is an AWESOME site for FREE literature-based unit studies! Many units also contain lapbooking pages and/or notebooking pages for FREE! If you’ve never visited, you don’t want to miss this site.
Guess where all these wonderful units come from? Me and you! People just like us write units based on things we’re actually doing in our homeschools. Once a unit is complete, you simply send it in to the wonderful ladies who run the website and they “pretty it up” for you and make you seem like a star!
What could be better? Right now they’re offering a CONTEST!!! Go see! For submitting approved projects during the contest time frame, you could win all sorts of prizes from a $100 Amazon gift certificate to lapbooking resources to a TOS subscription to MY Language Arts Curriculum, and MUCH MORE!
What are you waiting for? I promise you can do it!

I can’t tell you how excited I am about the Science Experiements in a Bag exchange we had at co-op this week! Remember the preschool bags? The same company that sells the preschool activity bag idea book now has a science experiment bag idea book! My big kids can’t wait to dive into these!
Wanna see?

This past weekend was time once again for our co-op’s talent expo. It’s such a fun time of sharing talents and competing for ribbons in the areas of art, music, drama, spelling, Bible memorization, cooking, woodworking, science fair and/or sewing.
This year’s projects for Caleb included two art projects, a *huge* birdhouse and a derby pie. The pictures of the art projects didn’t turn out, but you can see the other two below.
Two of Mahayla’s art project pictures also didn’t turn out, but her photography entry did. You can also see her knitting entry and hummingbird cake.
We’ll find out in a couple of weeks how/if they placed at a little awards ceremony. This is always one of our favorite co-op events!

What can an eight year old boy do with a yard stick, two clothespins, electrical tape and too many rubber bands? Create a weapon, of course! (And it really works!)

We have a wonderful little creek on our farm that tends to dry up as summer approaches. In the spring, though, it’s a source of much fun and nature exploration. Here are some photos from our walk today.
