Thursday School

So today was our first try at Thursday school, and despite my slumping enthusiasm last night, it went well this morning.  It was definitely "school lite" by my usual standards, but it was fun.  We did spelling, some LA1 activities, reading, Saxon Math and wrapped things up with Science and Core.  The boys were so cute.  My two favorites were when I asked Jarek to define a yam and he said "Yams.  There's two kinds of yams I think.  Yam chop....is that one?"  And then there was our indepth discussion, sparked by our read aloud ("Family Under the Bridge") on how money affects people.  I concluded our discussion with "So see, money can't make you nice or mean or happy or..."  At this point William interjects "Yeah...it can only make you rich."

Crystal is now downstairs swimming with the boys.  I went for a while too, but now I'm "working."  (oops).  And so apparently just minutes after I left, William decided he could swim and he swam half way across the deep end to Crystal.  So that was pretty cool.  I mean it was cool when he reenacted it for me.  So fun times in Thursday school today. :)
