What day is it?

June 30th! Holy... wow.

Well, we blew our collective time online last night helping this drunk guy home... check it out. Directions are in German, but you just use your mouse to help stabilize him. Turn the volume up- he's funny, especially if you've ever helped get an inebriated buddy from point A to point B.

The past two days have been incredibly less frenzied than last week's days were. I'm amazed. We get to swim on time, run errands between lessons, get back to swim on time, and then enjoy a leisurely afternoon together. I do believe we can cancel the previously discussed nervous breakdown! WooHoo!

We took the time to dawdle and meander yesterday at the Environmental Education building on base. Sometimes it is so good to dawdle. We got to witness the incredibly voilent beheading of a fish by a Blue Crab (it was already dead, and was fascinating, but we certainly didn't see it coming!) We were invited to bring a mouse in to feed to their king snake. We got to watch a black widow spider in action. (ewww!) We counted rings on tree specimen, and read all the latin names of the many insects on display in the hallway. It took us an hour and a half, and all we'd really gone in for was to find out what was going on with the homeschool science field trips we'd been trying to organize. How's that for a great day! And people wonder how children learn when they aren't in the g-schools...

Not much else, but I wanted to touch base. Tomorrow comes early.

Edited to add:
Jordan- you are a DOLL! Thank you for the wf link! YUM!
Janet- Was there some concern? *wink*
Amy- WOOHOO! You're back! Fortunately, the leader of this house is just as much for chaos as I am. We are leaning quite heavily in that direction. See you back at your blog!
Jess- think of it as "practice" for building the commune!

Have a great week!
