Week Sum Up

Monday we dealt with consequences, poop, and then had cousin time so no formal school.

Tuesday we had a Joy School excursion in the morning that we brought all the kids and Grammy to. We called that school and a great one. Fed ducks. Played on play ground. (Amy took great care of Eliza there.) Had hot dogs and smores. A little lesson. Used our senses. Watched for green - the color of the day. Played with friends. So much fun.

Wednesday we went to the fire station for an open house. We met cousins there. My cousin is in town from Houston with her two daughters so we are playing a lot. The fire station taught us some important safety things, and we saw cool demonstrations. The girls got to spray the fire hose except Eliza who was too shy of the fireman. After we got home, we drew pictures and wrote a little bit about what we had seen and done.

Today we had normal school day. Wahoo!

One popular exercise around here lately is "Bonnie Scoot Races." The girls race across the room the same way I used to scoot instead of crawl when I was a baby. I did it today. Harder than it looks 6 months pregnant by the way.

For America moment we learned about slavery and talked about what we didn't like about it. Amy's learned a little about it lately, and I think it was good to talk about. Noel said she thinks everybody should have liberty. I agree, Noel.

Mom Class today turned into a trick. I had the girls practice hypnobirthing relaxation with me. I try to practice it every day to get ready for Benjamin's birth. Amy nearly fell asleep and asked me to turn on some more relaxing music for her when we were done. Noel wanted to listen to a tape with headphones on, so school took a pause.

Amy chose the Green Eggs and Ham game for her activity.

Noel chose trains. 

For closing class, I reminded the girls - especially Amy - that choosing an activity doesn't mean we get to totally boss and control everything about the activity. That was a bit of a problem today.

We read some stories and called it good.

Tomorrow we are planning to go to Cornbelly's with the cousins if the weather permits. That will take over school time.
