I once again was reminded that yes indeed, we home school and that my enthusiasm for adventure and science has fueled most of our school all these 24 years. So, on my 48th birthday, yesterday, my hubby and 9 kids, ages 27 -4 got together and with their dad leading the project bought me lizards, toads and anoles and new furnishings for my terrarium! As I saw my 27 year old post pix on my facebook in the wee hours of this morning, I thought, yep, we are a home schooling family.
My 84 and 86 year old mom and dad couldn't believe that they were spending money on their 48 year old daughter buying specialized tree frogs and that she was loving it! As passerbyers and dog walkers at the park saw our large gathering (spouses, fiances and grandchildren added to our little mix, I'm sure some were thinking..."who would want 2 aquariums full of plants and "squishy things"!! Oh too fun! I might add my favorite things besides children are moose and frogs....so to have exotic frogs added to my collection, fun anoles and a salmon colored house gecko was an awesome thing for me. I was shocked that my hubby who isn't normally a huge planner had put lots of thought and time into this gift together.
One friend asked, "So what did you get for your birthday?" I said, Lizards and frogs! and she hesitantly said, "Did you actually like that?" Indeed!!!!! I did! Thanks guys!!
