Welcome back to Mom's No Chaos Zone!
Today the weather was wonderful and we got to take our first walk of the year! I was originally just going to take our oldest son who has been spending way too much time on the couch lately but the others wanted in on the act. We decided to double duty the walk with science so the kids were all directed to be on the lookout for something to bring home, research, and sketch in their nature journals.
I forgot how nice it is to get out in the fresh air and talk with the kids. There is something about fresh air, sunshine, and movement that stimulates good conversation. Ally found a mullein plant starting to green up so she picked a fuzzy leaf to sketch. Being an herb nut I told her all about the mullein’s growth habits and uses of mullein leaves and flowers. She very good naturedly listened.
Taylor found a rock or something. What is it with boys and rocks?
I look forward to many more days of walking and talking as the days warm up. Exercise, fresh air, family time… what more could you want?
