Back to School

We started back up with school on Tuesday. I think it went rather well. Really, we only had scripture study and history, so it's not like pulling teeth...yet! We started back with the ancients. We discussed archaeology and what history is. We also talked about life before Nintendo!!! I think the boys were really into it. They were answering all the questions...correctly! And asking questions themselves. I really hope it continues this way. Next week the schedule will pretty much be the same, although they'll be doing their narratives and outlining. We're gradually getting back into school. We've been starting around 10 or 10:30 in the morning and finishing around lunch. But, that's also including distractions! Rocket is one of those distractions! He kept coming in the schoolroom asking for peanut butter and rice cakes, or red fruit shake (which is really just kool-aid) or yellow oreos. And today, Bond needed a haircut before his shower, so of course Rocket had to have a haircut, too, but his reasoning was that he wanted to take a bath! Silly Rocket. And, when your boy child says he wants to take a bath, you really should jump on that!

Another thing going on this week is that Dindodude's been playing fooball. He complains a little before practice, but once he's out there, he's awesome!!! Here's a picture of him in his practice jersey. He already looks like a pro!!!

Yes, he does look like a pro - really buff! You're right about that bath thing. I usually have to talk Dexter into getting cleaned up. He does his hair every morning though, so that's progress.

oops, that was me up there. Didn't know Vanessa was still logged in.
If your MIL had a blog, I would have tagged her, because I do realize how interesting that would be!
You can let her know that she better try remember her Google password soon, so that she can leave some comments. I don't know about her sometimes (he,he).
