Where does the time go?  This spring as I get the kids ready for school in the fall...  My son in Pre-K and the girls in Preschool.  Honestly, what is the difference?  If you have been to my other blog you may know that I've been struggling with whether to homeschool or send them to public school.  It's not an easy decision, but alas, I have their applications in and we'll see.

I highly doubt this months pick by my son has anything to do with school, but he's taken a serious interest in a book that I used as a reference book in High School.  {Yes, I still have some.}

The Visual Encyclopedia of Science has intrigued him so much that I will catch him perusing through it sometimes during the day, but always, always it must be read and reviewed each night before bed.

I love this book.  All three of them ask so many questions, about everything.  Literally.  I love it.

I remember my first fascination with a reference book.  Quite similar to this one, but in the cover it had the Solar System and I would look at it and read it as often as I could.  Which probably inspired my childhood favorite - the Mushroom Planet Series by Eleanor Cameron.

To many more inspired reads, I love you.
