Namaste! Today started out with some morning yoga. I love starting our school day out this way - it's a great way to get our brains and bodies ready for the day. All of my kids have been doing yoga since before they could walk. Really even before they were born since I've done yoga on a regular basis for the last 20 years and always continue it throughout each pregnancy. Maybe that is why they were all born with such peaceful spirits. :-) I'm also looking forward to the chance to teach a yoga class next year at our homeschooling co-op. That should be alot of fun!

After lunch this afternoon, we had an exciting visitor. The mail carrier rang the bell to deliver our bugs! We're studying insects this month so we are planning to observe some caterpillars as they undergo metamorphosis and transform into painted lady butterflies. We also have a praying mantis egg that will be hatching in a few weeks. E spent time outside looking for the perfect stick to attach the egg to and set up the habitat. I'm a bit worried though because the book says that more than a hundred praying mantis babies can be hatched from that egg! I'm not sure what we've gotten ourselves into here.
