We're all good....Em is working on FAR, and so far she's enjoying it. She was under the (mistaken) impression that the Bible category was the only one for this unit.....um...no....there are several other categories to work through. lol She chose "Set Proverbs 31:10-31 to music and sing your song." yesterday. It was SO funny...she started singing it...just randomly...and it came out to the tune of "B-I-N-G-O". So we sang Proverbs 31 to the tune of "B-I-N-G-O"...we were really cracking up, but THEY REMEMBERED IT BETTER! 
She'd read the verse, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.", then we'd all sing it , "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. R-U-B-I-E-S, R-U-B-I-E-S, R-U-B-I-E-S, for her price is far above rubies." It was so cute I wished for a video camera to tape them...maybe after they've practiced it a bit they'll sing it for their Daddy and he can film them and we'll put it on youtube. I LOVED it! ; )
We haven't done as much exploring lately.....but, hopefully after tomorrow we'll have more time (and better weather) for exploring and having fun together. Both girls spent the night with my mom Saturday, then went to church with her Sunday, and came home with different attitudes. I don't mind them staying with my mom, but it always seems they come home acting differently than they do when they're just with us. They had gotten SO sweet and kind, hardly fighting at all, now they're back to bickering.
Today Em was awfully sweet to Anna, though. Anna fell, slipped on a rock, and scraped her leg really bad. She has a goose-egg knot, and a big scrape down her shin. Emma rushed to her, wet a napkin, wiped off the blood, and helped Anna to the van. I thought that was so sweet. 
They're good girls, and I love them dearly, I just wish they were so sweet ALL the time! lol
