Thursday morning we found out there were some Overland Park homeschoolers staying in a cabin down the road at Kingfisher Bend Ranch.
WE ARE FROM OVERLAND PARK!
WE HOMESCHOOL!
How cool is that? We were going to walk down to meet them but I was busy with household junk and before we could go we saw them drive by, leaving the ranch. Darnit. Later when I was struggling with a rowboat filled with 3 kidlets, the grandma of the homeschooled kids came to help me and meet me. She's very cool! Later we met the 2 girls when the kids all had a kitten love fest.

| Kids on the dock. |
 |
| After some kayaking and row-boating, the kids caught some crawdads. |
 |
| Sam and Eva got up on the counter to see our new pets. |
 |
| Eva dressing in her brothers' clothing ... with attitude. |
 |
| Joel came down the stairs too fast and broke a glass all over the place. Thankfully, he was not hurt. |
 |
| What a way to end the day ... holding a sleeping baby who just nursed himself into Dreamland. |
Highlights of the day:
- Callie learned about symmetry in math
- Kittens were loved upon
- Joel learned about decimals
- Michael learned about odds/evens and writing addition sentences
- The kids caught crawdads and wanted us to cook and eat them.
- We Skyped my dad while he's on our family vacation. I cried because we are supposed to be there, but I got over it ... I just want to hug and hold my family and friends; Skype is so sterile. Let's just say Skype is not satisfying like a Snickers.
- Went into town at dusk to get Wendy's ice cream treats.
- On the way home we heard Bicycle by Queen and I told the kids Aron and I used to bicycle Michael's legs and sing "Mikecycle" and the boys died laughing.
- Aron got home before 10
- I Skyped my pal Andrea
Thus ends the month of May ... now we get to start a new homeschooling logbook in a nifty spiral with pockets I got here. This homeschooling logbook will be called "Summer 2012". No, we don't need to keep records in Kansas, but I like to look back on what we did during our all-too-short time together.
