If I were a famous person, I would like to start a moon colony. There would be house's, shed's, and moon car's. There would be a police station, a fire station, and a hosbitla. (hospital) There would be a bank and a store. There would even be moon money.

If I were a famous person, I would like to discover the ark. If I would find it I would make a museum and put it in there. And then I would fill it with animals. And have people walk through it.

Here's the preschooler, peeking in. You never know what she'll do. She has a vivid imagination and loves sitting in the closet on the sleeping bags. (see above picture) She also loves to do puzzles, work in her workbooks, play with Lite Brites, color and look at books. She told someone recently that she's in preschool, "and mostly I just play."

Have I mentioned that I love, love my 'new' school room with the many book shelves and lights and desks for each student? And the peaceful aqua color it's painted? This is one of my favorite rooms in the house and we spend every forenoon in here. We have a heater when it's cold, a fan when it's hot, and sometimes we have tears, lots of laughter, snacks, and a lot of learning going on. I am so very grateful for the privilege to teach my own children, at home.
