Our wormery

Today we took advantage of the rain and scooped up some worms and made a wormery. I followed the instructions at Hillbilly Jillies. I think I see some fishing in our future. (That is if Agent H doesn't get too attached.)

It started out as a simple "panning for gold" activity as we talk about the CA gold rush in history.

It became a goggle-wearing, head-dunking, swim suit-wearing, surf board move contest kind of morning. I think all these grey days and rain are going to their heads. :)

The boys in their glory . . . .

Rocket Pops

These rocket pop molds have been on my wish list for a couple of years. I took the plunge and added them to my curriculum order on Amazon. Good ol' Amazon. I had some left over spinach smoothie so in the molds it went. The boys were very happy with the results. LBabe got a smaller ring pop version. That way his won't always end up in the dirt or melted. Happy kids. Happy mamma!

I heart CVS

Are any of you doing the CVS point thingie? I've heard about it for a couple of years but have been mostly intimidated by it. It is shocking to hear what people get for such little money actually spent!

I gave it a try. First I checked out iheartcvs.com to find out what the specials were, wrote myself a plan, then I hit the store. Here are my results. I spent under $6 for over $20 worth of product. Admittedly I think the items are over-priced BUT, I think I came out spending less as a total. I only bought products that were on my list of stuff we could use right now. The store employees were very helpful and patient. I think they get a kick out of seeing people do it.
