Ok, so my friend Crystal has been bugging me to start doing a blog, so here's my first one. Although it won't be fancy shmancy like hers because I still need to get a new digicam (plus she's just WAY talented!), I hope I can at least remember to keep it up!
This week we haven't been doing anything too hard core. Matt just started adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing fractions and is learning about the digestive system. Woot woot. He did write a really cool Halloween story that he'll be revising/editing tomorrow, though. It's about a mad scientist that creates a Shark Monster Thing. Yes, that's the official title of the monster. LOL He's been doing outlines, too, and he's pretty daggone good at it!
I've slacked off on schooling Elizabeth this week to just sort of review what she's learned so far (which is amazing to me!) and to evaluate what she knows/needs to learn. She is gradually learning the sounds the letters make and knows about 20 sight words already plus the days of the week and time to the hour.
This afternoon we went to Ritter Park and fed nuts to the squirrels and the mallards (did NOT know ducks eat peanuts!). It was a beautifully sunny day, but the wind was sooooo cold! It was blowing leaves in a big swirl all around us and Elizabeth was running around trying to catch one. It was such a good day!! And Daddy was off work so he got to go with us. We walked, ran, played in the leaves, fed the animals, played in the swing and on the dinosaur rocks, and gathered red, gold, and brown leaves to make Thanksgiving placemats this week. Matt got a kick out of the ducks pecking at each other's 'buttocks' (a word I don't like because it's so disgusting). When I asked him not to use that word, he said, "Would you rather I use the technical term-- anus?" Ugh. Thank you Complete Book of Science page 68...
Tonight we'll be making two Christmas ornaments because we got home from church too late last night to make one then. We are going to make one ornament each every night this month so that we'll have enough by Thanksgiving weekend to decorate our tree :o) We did that a couple other years and it was so cool!
Well, that's about it for my first blog. I'll try and add more tomorrow. Right now I gotta' go get the ornament stuff ready because Jessica has to start a research paper (yes, I said 'start') that's due tomorrow...LOL
