Monarch Egg Nursery Started

Looking for eggsWe found between 8-10 Monarch eggs down the road.  We are going to raise them.  We are trying to keep them all the same age this year.

We are also going to put sand on the bottom of their cages when they get bigger.  We only have to pour out the sand and put in clean sand to clean their cages.

Because we got them early, we can do twice as many (Momma says maybe) and let them mate.  Then they can lay eggs.  This set will last only a couple of weeks before dying so they have to lay their eggs quickly.  Maybe we can watch the babies grow.  🙂

P.S.  Do you have any ideas on how to raise Luna Moths?   That would be fun too.   Momma said we could if we learn how and where to get the eggs or caterpillars and food.

Yesterday, Mama FORGOT HER MATH!!!!

The question was “Half of a gallon is a half gallon.  Half of a half gallon is a quart.  Half of a quart is a pint.  Half of a pint is a cup.  A cup is what fraction of a quart?

Mama said, “1\12”.  I said, “1\4”.

I was right.

Bobcat Surprise!

Learning how it worksLearning to driveToday after the soccer game, Grandpa took Audrey and me home with him to pick some stuff up.  Mr Jason and his dad were finishing working on Grandpa’s driveway.

Grandpa asked Mr. Jason if  I could ride in the bobcat, and Mr. Jason said why can’t he drive it?  So he taught me how to drive a bobcat and I even got to drive it by myself back to Mr. Jason’s house.

It was lots and lots and lots and lots and a couple more lots of fun.  Oh, I forgot to put another lot in.  I WANT to do it again.

Grandpa took a couple of pictures, and here they are.
