Baby it's getting cold outside!

I looked at the forecast this morning because my hubby is biking to work still, and the low for Sunday night is -6. GULP....I'm not ready for that. It goes from summer to winter here in Canada. It's kinda sad actually. I really hope that we will get a nice September. Not going to be fun camping next weekend if it dips down to -10 or something crazy. Ya, we are going camping, one last trip I guess. My husband really wants to camp when the leaves are turning and falling. Glad we have a furnace in the little trailer!!


We've been busily doing school every day. Most of the kids do it without question, or sighing, in fact 3 out of 4 do it happily. On the off day, my 1 and only son, will not be happy about doing school. Most days, he will happily work on his school books. We haven't done anything fun yet, I hope that I can do more fun things in the future with them. I love doing fun things, and not doing school books...but the 'principle' (daddy) prefers the school books ;)

Maybe we will do a study on BATS:

This was at our front door one day after we came back from running errands :-O

Or Skunks:

This little guy was at our camp site almost every night while we were there.

Caterpillars:

They found quite a few of these at the end of a hike we took

maybe Ground Squirrels:

These were regular visitors at our campsite.

or Chickadees:

Only saw these little birds once when they flew into our site to say hi!

Those are a few of the critters we saw while camping, minus the bat, which we saw at out house here in the city!!
