Farm school!

Among other fun excursions we enjoy during the week, the boys have started a spring term at 'farm school' at the local Audubon farm.  They spend 3 hours on the farm, learning and helping, rain or shine...or snow (last week there was a fresh 6" the day of school!).  This term they are focusing on insects and have been developing their relationships with giant cockroaches, mealworms, and whatever else they told me that I began mentally blocking as the words entered my ears.  *Shudder*  Not a bug person, myself.  They also got to meet the brand new lambs born in the sheep barn just one hour old.  We were all invited in to see when we picked them up so Eden and I got a peek too.  Adorable!  I had no idea that lambs born black morph to white-coated lambs as adults.  Hmm!
