Is everyone enjoying this warm weather? We sure are! And my new camera is really getting a workout. We have four and a half very long weeks of school left. It's getting more and more difficult to keep the kids inside long enough for a full school day. I wonder, what is your take on holding class at the picnic table? How about laying in the grass while reading from our History book? I'm undecided. Grace and Joshua beg to get outside as soon as breakfast is over. It just doesn't seem fair to keep them cooped up all day while the older ones work. But if we all go out together, I can help the kids with their work and watch the babies play in the dirt pile at the same time. Once, a spider landed on Paige's back, and that, as you can imagine, caused a commotion. We had to stop to catch a yellow swallowtail. And an inchworm dropped in for a quick visit. After that, I told them all, if we have one more distraction, we are going inside. But, hey, we have just as many distractions in the house. 
Oh, yeah, we're climbing!

Oh wait... lets get the camera... Joshua don't fall off the table till I get your picture... and yes it looks like Daddy is having tooo much fun. CLV
Gorgeous! I wish I had grass! Here in New Mexico we have DIRT and ROCKS! :-D I love those little moments where kids can just stop and be kids. Remember that they learn from everything around them. Why not take those moments with the spider, swallowtail and inchworm, to learn a bit about them. It looks like your kiddos already have learned how to love and respect each other and that to me is the most important thing they can learn...Jesus' love. Have a blessed day!
Wow, that one twin has gotten REALLY big!!! ;)
Great pictures. I like your new settings.
We love to take our books outdoors and get done what we can....like you say there are distractions but the same holds true indoors. My littles are much happier outside so in the long run I think it's worth moving outdoors. Your kids are sooo cute!
