Collecting...

Salt and pepper shaker collection: I've added three new sets to my collection.

On the forth row down are my new shakers. The cute Florida alligators and (my new fav) the blue squirrels (too bad they aren't purple) comes from Autumn's friend Mitzi who has a few booths at some antique malls here in mid-Michigan. She has an adorable blog here Mitzi's Collectibles with loads of antique and crafting goodies.
The green wise owls are from the Mega Mall here in Lansing, (Noah's favorite.)

My latest embroidery piece... Ms. Sniffy:) I do love all things squirrely!

Homeschool afternoon...

Noah and I spent some time outside the other day playing around with our magnify glasses. Noah melted the snow bank, "die snow, die!"

Then quickly decided that is really boring to watch snow melt. So... we decided to burn leaves. (Adult supervision!) Much more exciting, to a 10 year old boy! The leaves never really flame up... they just smoke and get a small burn hole.

Sniffy wanted to see what all the excitement was about.

After giving Sniffy some peanuts, we decided come in and played a game of Parcheesi.

Homeschooling... What a life!

Sniffy Video

~~First time I've posted a video of Sniffy... she's so cute!

Sniffy Treats

We made Sniffy some treats yesterday.

(Of course Harpo wanted to help, anytime food is involved.)

We used corn cobs... with or without corn on it. Spread on peanut butter and rolled in seeds.
Tied on some twine for hanging.

Sniffy enjoying her treat.
