Well.. this week wasn't at all what I had planned.  Guess that happens, eh?

We didn't do our lessons as I had them planned for my K and Pre-K'er... but I guess they did some educational things... playing mostly, but learning cause and effect, concepts of space (not outer) and got lots of stories read.  Not a complete and utter failure.. and I found out a few things...

For example.. Chaeli knows her numbers.  I mean, she knows the arabic numerals for them... like 1, 2, 3, 4 etc... up to where I'm not sure, but while she was waiting at the hospital for the second half of a test she was there for she got to playing with this toy which she had to match hearing a number and it's written counterpart.. and she got them ALL right!  Wow. 

Greyson has taken to drawing really complex pictures... for a 5 year old that is!  LOL!

a Knight and a Dragon.  I guess all boys go through this phase... Ev did too and I think he was the same age!  It's so neat watching "replays" of phases we've been through before!  Chaeli is funny though, where Kenzi ignored Ev's facination with all things knights and dragons... Chaeli is right in the thick of things.  Every once in a while Greyson will have the audacity to tell Chaeli that she needs to "be the princess and I will save you" and she LOUDLY protests, "NO.. I a knight TOO!  I kill the Dragon TOO!"  hehe... guess not all phases match up, eh?

I'll be trying to be more "on schedule" with the Littles this week, and I'm hoping to start Grapevine with them as well, if I can get the books printed and bound in time... not sure the best way to go about it yet though.  The Bigs are doing New Testament this year... and well, I havent' done any with the Littles yet... so I'm still debating if I start with Old Testament or try to match the Bigs... I'll probably go with OT...

The kids had a lot of fun with the little wooden blocks from the "no name brand" Jenga game we have... building domino-like patterns and knocking them down to see what would happen.  Ev and Greyson built some bridges over books.  That'a about it, I guess... I'll try to have a more exciting week next week! :o)

Blessings!
