The Tree Girl

As of late, we have been learning about trees. Julia, being quite facinated by the evergreens' during our campout last weekend, asked to learn more. After a quick trip to the library, we discovered that Coniferous and Disciduous trees are very exciting. Now our little botanical-wiz is telling us when she sees 'Conifers' , etc.

Another discovery we have encountered is the amazing brain activity of midnights. Two evenings we have spent enjoying late night games with the Colvin and Colvinson clan, and after waking Julia from her sleepover and driving home with her at the brain-active hours of 11-12 at night, we found something out. THE BRAIN WORKS SO HARD REMINDING us of what we learned all day(week) that it is very useful and applicable at night!! this is a huge breakthrough! i think that kids should never have tests during the day....i plan on waking our children at midnight for their final exams.

The reason i say this is: On our way home last night, Julia announced, "I HAVE A GOOD IDEA FOR THE TREES TO REST." (or sleep, dave says she said SLEEP) So i asked her, "oh yes, what is that dear?" (very curious to see what she was dreaming about...) she replied, NO JOKE, THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID, "i have a good idea for the trees to rest and then they will stop making chlorophyl."

NO JOKE. we laughed all the way home....and she continued talking about chlorophyl, trees, and how she is going to buy a dark blue back hoe to drive when she is older. Then she said she would fly on an airplane to bring Nana and Grandpa a dark blue backhoe.

anyway. that was the very funniness of the night drive home.

I will put pictures up soon of Corrina and Julia playing together sooooooooooooo sweetly.
