Are you counting??

This year for science, the kiddos and I have been learning about flying creatures. Birds, bugs, bats etc. This past week we just so happened to be studying about all the field marks that differentiate birds from one another. Well how handy is it then that the Great Backyard Birdcount should be starting today. It was so nice of them to co-ordinate that with me, don't you think? So git yourselves out this weekend for some fresh air and a chance to appreciate some of God's flying creatures. Yes, I said git. Does it make you want to move faster? It sure does my kids-- "Git outta the candy.", "Would you git your shoes on already?!?!", and the ever popular "Git. Over. Heeeerrreee." I digress.. what else is new?
