Happy President's Day! 

George Washington turns 275 years old on Thursday!

This week, we'll be learning about Paul Revere....in Tommie's Book Club, his required reading is...."And, Then What Happened, Paul Revere?"....a very, very good book, with plenty of belly laughs....always a sure-sign that reading comprehension is successful!

I am coordinating it with Five in a Row's, "Paul Revere's Ride." 

Below, I thought I'd share a picture of my little Revolutionary boy making paper...he's actually dyeing wadded up butcher paper, in 7 Tablespoons of boiling coffee, to give it an old look.  We'll either turn this into a Paul Revere newspaper or a Day Book, like Paul carried...for Tommie to use for his class. 

The house sure smelled like a Starbucks...

Also in the day:  started putting together a 300 piece United States Puzzle of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandieago"....you put the puzzle together and then there's a booklet of clues for you to figure out... walked 4 miles on the treadmill, made bbq chicken and baked potato's for dinner, scrapbooked 4 pages, made calls--trying to coordinate our skiing outing with our Cub Scout den, read three chapters of our read-aloud, "The Whipping Boy"...this is a pretty dark book....
