And we did have an adventure. Our area was hit by a spell of freezing temperatures. We went to the forest to find out what the cold had done in there. And we were not disappointed. The ice, the ice flowers and ribbons, frost everywhere, red cheeks and numb fingers and toes were all new and interesting experiences.
Saara finally started her much anticipated TOPS science program. I remember having lots of fun with Andrew two years ago and eating all the good stuff we grew. It is Saara's turn now and she is enjoying every minute of it.
Both kids finished their first math books and started on the second ones. One more milestone to remind us that we are half way through our school year.
Ballet and choir have started up again. Andrew is so proud to be singing with the 'big' choir now. He really loved his 1.5 hour practice, and is looking forward to the next one.

| Science. Starting the long-waited-for TOPS program. |
 |
| Radish seeds all ready to sprout. |
 |
| Andrew read the story of Sadako Sasaki. It was a sad book, but at the end of it, we made our own paper cranes. The kids loved it and asked for more origami projects. |
 |
| A frozen world after a hard freeze in our area. |
 |
| The amazing ice ribbons. |
 |
| We undertook a fun little project - building a dog house. |
 |
| Done! |
 |
| A clear difference between sprouts that enjoyed light and the ones that sprouted in the darkness. |
 |
| Finishing up the building project. |
 |
| Andrew's pride and joy - his 'big' choir choir book. |
