The Freedom Four

Thursday wasn't the prettiest of days, but the kids wanted to get out. They've been wanting to go to the "dinosaur museum" and dig for bones, but that costs $5 per kid and will have to wait. Maybe next week.

We went to a nearby park.

Taven immediately went to look for nutria. We did not see any. Too cold I think. I did see lots of pretty little yellow Pine Warblers, but did not get a good picture because the kids kept scaring them off.

Some sign language fun.

We have been enjoying our rental car the last couple of days. A new mini van! With working heat and a working radio! Ahhhh luxurious. We were rear ended last week and I'm kind of hoping my car is "totaled." The shop said it might be. Not totaled as in it doesn't work (it runs fine) but totaled as in the repairs cost more than the car is worth. Then maybe I can get some cash and keep my car....who knows.

Eaden, we believe, left her "blankie" in our car being repaired. She is having a hard time without it. I didn't really realize she was so attached.

 After returning from our nature walk, we made cookies.

 Oh we had also stopped by the library. We have a serious addiction to kids magazines, especially Nat Geo Kids and Zoobooks. We also check out Ranger Rick, Highlights, and American Girl. Zoobooks is the kids and my favorite. Each magazine focuses on one animal in a super kid friendly format.
