I Wonder......

Ever had one of those days where you just wonder about everything? Why life is the way it is, what you should do about something, how should you do it? Questioning each scenario, examining every facet of information available then trying to determine the correct direction to take? Ever feel like your brain has turned to mush after all the pondering is through and look something like this?>

I have had those type of days lately and this goofy girl of mine can bring a smile to my face no matter how pressing the matter at hand may be. :)

In our home school experience we took a "wonder" day and explored it using all our scientific materials that were available to us. We gathered specimens we "wondered" about and using magnifying glasses and our handy dandy microscope we were able to unlock some of the mysteries behind bee hives and snake skins and a live lady bug!

Below you can see my 6yr old monopolizing enjoying her discovery. (Notice my son's expression does NOT seem to enthused? Can you wonder why with two little sisters who have a "ME" complex?
Below is another view of her viewing a specimen under intense scrutiny.
They enjoyed observing in great detail their finds and making various hypothesis about them and look forward to finding more things to "wonder" about in the lovely warm spring weather that is to come! I think I may need to order more glass slides......
