Dinosaur math, enjoyed by all.

Geography lesson taught by dad.

This night, besides the math games, and letter bingo, we talked about presidents that were on our currency and Benjamin Franklin who was *not* a president but on our currency.

This spun off to a talk about what Benjamin Franklin did, and the kite and electricity thing . . . so we ended the day watching a Mythbusters (don't ya' know, we love em.) about the kite flying experience.

So, what did you do in class today?

Sarah took these pictures.  So we don't see her, but she did participate.  Participate in helping repair dad's car.  She didn't build a city with blocks but she did do archery under dad's supervision.  She worked on a  Math workbook, but only finish half a page.  She wrote me several notes.  And she read a bit from Dick and Jane. 

Also not pictured here is a hike down into the valley where Sarah identified which way the horse was walking by it's tracts.

And Andrew got a bullseye from this distance!

Good times. :-)

Whew! What a Wii will do.

Yesterday the kids were with Grandma, and painted.

Andrew's and he wrote "mom" upper right hand corner.

Andrew's,this is actually sideways - for some reason the compu won't let me correct it.  It's a sun.

 When my husband and I returned we placed a globe we found at a thrift store and that attracted so much interest. The first question posed was - can you find where we live?  And then talking about "from here to there" . . .

Today we went swimming at a nearby pool for 4 hours and we *were* going to go to the beach, so before we left we watched Bill Nye the science guy about Ocean Currents.

One of the things we did while at the pool (site change because I really don't like the sand at the beach and papa wanted to stay home, pool is easier for me) is the kids circled around the kiddy pool creating their own current.  Way fun.  They were so excited about it.

And now, wearily dragging myself in - (why does a day at the pool wear me out more than the kids?)  We hook up the Wii borrowed from my brother, and play a few rounds of wii sports.  

Well, amend that, the boys were too tired and weepy so they laid down and are sleeping.  Sarah and I played some bowling and tennis, but I really want to blog before dinner - so right now, Just Sarah is whacking at the tennis = she is playing 2 players with just herself, wii remotes in each hand. Interesting.
