"A" you're adorable

My daughter called me over today and showed me this (Thank you so much Miss J). I think as mothers we need to hear this every now and then




For those of you who would like the lyrics:

When Johnny Jones was serenading Mary,
He sure could quote a lot of poetry
But he'd much rather tell her
what he learned in his speller
When they both attended PS thirty-three....

(chorus)
"A," you're adorable, "B," you're so beautiful,
"C," you're a cutie full of charms.
"D," you're a darling and "E," you're exciting
And "F," you're a feather in my arms.
"G," you look good to me, "H," you're so heavenly,
"I," you're the one I idolize.
"J," we're like Jack and Jill, "K," you're so kissable,
"L," is the lovelight in your eyes.

"M," "N," "O," "P," I could go on all day.
"Q," "R," "S," "T," alphabetically speaking, you're OK.

U," made my life complete, "V," means you're very sweet,
Double-"U" "X" "Y" "Zee."
It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me.
(repeat the chorus)

Spring is in the air ...

The sun has been shining and the skies have been beautifully blue today so we took our Sonlight read alouds hopped onto the tramp and did our reading there.

We are really enjoying Sonlight's choice of reading so far.  In fact the books are so good even Sir N's Aunty and cousin enjoyed a read together today.  Aunty M stated "I think I need to join in your homeschool"

One of the most interesting things I learned today is that frogs can have heart shaped pupils!

It felt so much like spring had arrived that I decided to do some macro photography in the garden

Hope you are enjoying the first signs of Spring

Tuesdays Treasures (1-9)

The Usborne ART Treasury 

I have discovered a wonderful book at our local library: The Usborne ART Treasury and a treasury it truly is.

This book contains beautiful art from around the world. Each piece of art is featured on a double page spread, there is a short description of the particular work of art, a short biographical of the artist and an simple explanation about a method used.
The next set of pages contain a picture of a project you can do, as well as a detailed step by step on how to accomplish the project at home.

I am so impressed with this book that I have ordered one for myself.
