Today has been a good day.  Pumpkin got up early so he could get his school work done before P.E. today.  I have really seen a huge growth in this area with him.  Every week I write up the things he needs to accomplish for the week and give him a copy of the list.  I let him decide what he is going to do on what day, of course he has a minimum number of assignments he has to accomplish every day.  But this method has been working really well for him.  He is going to be done with most of his work by May 28th. 

Peewee stayed the night at his buddies house but they brought him home before P.E. class so he just did his work after P.E.   Today we worked on his History Notebook.  He is reading "The Revolutionary War on Wednesday."  He's enjoying it and there is some history facts in there.  I personally don't think this is that great of a book.  He copies some things out of the book for his notebook and sometimes I read to him the part he is to write.  We are also filling in the timeline as we learn things.  Next we are going to read George Washington Solider, Hero, President.  During this we have our overview book The American Revolution for Kids that we are reading.  I like doing history this way we are covering penmanship, reading, history, spelling, and grammar.  We talked about using capital letters at the beginning of sentences, for people's names, and naming a particular place.  He did pretty good with the narration of course there was some words he didn't know how to spell.  His penmanship is coming along though there is plenty of room for improvement.  At least today he left space between the words and I could read them. 

Peanut actually has been on a school kick lately and worked right along with us.  He colored some pictures about our topic for his notebook. We also worked on counting, colors, and some alphabet.  He enjoys sitting listening to his brother read.

Princess just scribbled on paper with markers and herself of course.  She also helped mom make some banana bread until I went to add the bananas.  Then she started freaking out because how dare I take her bananas and smash them up. 

The guys both had soccer practice tonight.  Then we came home and just hung out till bed time.  Overall it was a pretty laid back day.  I love days when things just kinda flow.
