Thoreau dropped off his laundry at his mother's house and was afraid of the Maine woods. ;) I don't homeschool, but the boys and I have been Nature Explorers lately. I give them drawing notebooks and then we look for something to study. We did the cats last time. I'd hold one while we talked about each part, cat's behavior, and how they sound. Then they drew as detailed a picture as they were able. It sound like the girls are on their way to being Naturalists, with or without cupcakes. :) I prefer Aldo Leopold’s _Sand County Almanac_ to Thoreau.
