We ended up taking the week after Thanksgiving off. Derek was sick, I wasn't feeling the greatest and any mention of school and Bryce didn't want anything to do with it. So we played, colored lots, read books, went to the Children's Museum and just enjoyed being together.

Monday we stayed home all day and started to work on book work again. Bryce is learning his number words in math and we are reading about the Parables of Jesus this week. We also started reading The House on Pooh Corner for a read aloud. I am really enjoying this and Bryce is doing a good job following the story. Bryce also started reading a chapter book out loud this week. HOP Level 2 Deluxe has 3 chapter books and we started the first one "Detective Dog and the Lost Rabbit." I am very pleased that he is not only reading it but can tell me the next day what happened. I am so happy that he is comprehending what he is reading.

Over the last few days we have gotten quite a bit of snow. The boys love to help shovel to just play in the snow. So we have been spending time outside too.
