The Aquarium
Each year, the Monterey Bay Aquarium hosts "Homeschool Days" when admission is free and additional clinics and workshops are available to the kids.  We participated this year and had a wonderful time!  The best area, in my opinion, was the Seahorse Exhibit.  I've always been fasinated by these beautiful creatures.  Look at how cute this is: I could have spent all day looking at these: Isn't our God so wonderful?!  What a beauty! After the aquarium, we went to the beach for a BBQ with friends.  We ate, played, and played some more.  There was a stairsrace: Get ready....get set....GO! The beach was white and had an abundance of small shells to collect

October 2009
What a month!  We were busy with school,of course.  I really should take some pictures of the Lambies at work, shouldn't I? We harvested the remainder of the tomatoes and tore them out.  Our friend Tammy blessed us with plenty of her pet llamas manure to enrich the soil for our winter garden. We plan to have carrots, lots of varieties of greens, garlic and maybe some peas. GirlofGod and Trixie went camping with Daddy and Grandpa. Sadly, Daddy forgot to take any pictures. Trixie broke her arm (you can go to her blog for more about that; she'll blog soon). Getting costumes ready for Halloween took the rest of the month.  I'm hoping November will allow more time at

The Colestead
Have I told you about my favorite herbal products yet?  My friend, Mother Of Blessings, makes her products with all-natural and organic ingredients and they are just great!  I have used her Immune Booster for several years.  Along with a healthy diet, I credit it with keeping us cold and flu free for a LONG time!  I have also personally used the Boo-Boo Cream.  I use it almost daily, truthfully.  It goes on any scrapes, bug bites, rashes and dry spots, that happen so frequently around here. Go visit The Colestead on Etsy and try a product.  You won't be sorry! The Colestead
