Alabama Homeschoolers Tornado Relief

***ATTENTION HOMESCHOOLERS***

I just wanted to post something quick about a  new Facebook page to help out Alabama homeschoolers that were hit by the recent tornadoes that came through on 4/27/2010.  I don't know if other states are doing something similar or not. This group was originally started as a group of lower Alabama homeschoolers helping north Alabama homeschoolers, but I'm certain anyone that wants to help can.

 If you'd like to donate your "extras", please request to be added to the ALABAMA HOMESCHOOLERS TORNADO RELIEF page.

Thanks so much!

Favorite Outdoor Activities

I signed us up to participate in a 30 Days of Outside Play challenge.




Today's challenge is to list 30 outside activities we could enjoy in our own yard during the Spring,

so here goes:

 

chalk drawings

blowing bubbles

playing in our huge sandbox

reading on a blanket

picnic

climbing trees

water balloon fights

playing in mud puddles

 

putting up a tent

catch with the dog

kick ball 

bike riding

catching bugs

painting
 

planting flowers

hop scotch

obstacle course (the boys LOVE WipeOut!)

find the constellations 

roast hotdog & marshmallows over the firepit 

freeze tag

hide-n-seek

scavenger hunt

lemonade stand

jump rope

hula hoop

make a rocket

geocaching (not in our backyard, but something we want to do!)

fly kites (maybe make our own, too!)

create a family sign

train the dogs

Whew. That was harder than I thought it would be. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for lots of outside play!
