| I bought Andrew a Star Wars cookbook. He learned how to make egg toast and treated us to this delicacy a few times this week. |
The signs that the end of the school year is near are everywhere. First, the choir practice has grown more intense. We are having additional rehearsals every week now until the concert. Second, we started finishing books and workbooks for the year. For instance, Andrew is done with Texas history and both kids have finished their vocabulary program.
Andrew did begin a new study, however, about the Texas government. It is really helpful to pull up the pictures we took while visiting the Capitol last year to make the rather dry subject of legislature more tangible and colorful.
Other than school, we had lots of good weather to be outside this week.

| The dewberry time is almost over. We went picking the berries one day and ended up with a decent amount, enough for a cobbler, a cake, and freezing for winter. |
 |
| Our dewberry patch had a few neat nature surprises for us. One of them was a birds nest at eye level. |
 |
| I am glad, we spotted the huge bull frog before it moved. It would have scared the living daylights out of us. |
 |
| Cutest little lizard watched us for a while and then disappeared. |
 |
| Andrew went fishing two days in a row. He caught and released, although some of the fish were big enough for eating. |
 |
| While Andrew was fishing, Saara hand-fed tiny sunfish by the shore. |
