back at it!

Daddy was D's substitute teacher yesterday as I was still sick and he had the day off. It was easy for him - just open the guide & go! Another great benefit to HOD, in my opinion! :o)

Today, even though I'm not 100% and C took a short nap, we were able to get school done ~ thank goodness!

You can tell C still doesn't feel 100% either. :o(

K enjoyed playing musical instruments in "praise" to God as Solomon did when the temple was complete.

She begged to do her "reading lesson" again and so last week we picked back up in 100 Easy Lessons. She's on Lesson 45 and loving it! Yeah! I was afraid we'd have to start at the beginning, but she remembers it all and is doing better than in the fall ~ amazing the difference a few months makes. :O)

D constructed this cow to go with his history reading today. He even made the cow chewing on "wheat" like you see farmers doing in pictures (not sure where this idea came from?!). He even drew a snail in the grass (lower left corner) - something he learned about on PBS show this morning.

He learned to cut "fringe" for the grass in the picture...using his scissors at first and then later switching to mine as they were easier to cut such long fringe!
I took this picture on Friday - C is playing the "bubble" game on a new website. It's great because there are lots of "early learning" games that you can choose to have the child use only the space bar to operate. She LOVES it and has asked to play it a lot since Friday!
