The children weren't very into their book studies, and I can't blame them with the warmer weather outside. Finally starting to warm up again. We spent a lot of time outside exploring today. We spent some time looking for signs of Spring. We found daffodil and tulips starting to emerge from the ground. Also, buds are forming on the trees and lilac bushes. Robins are everywhere. It is has grown noisier with all of the birds calling. We heard a woodpecker. We also discovered a dead Robin that one of the cats had caught. Hadley got a little emotional about it, but we got through it.
