Well, yesterday went pretty well - he didn't start to show signs of lost sleep till around dinner time :-)  And since he caught up on school in the middle of the night, we had a pretty relaxed day.  Family night was fun, we made homemade pizza and watched a good movie from the library, then read the final battle scene from Mossflower by Brian Jacques.  Ty is so loving this series of books!

This morning, Daddy and Ty made chocolate chip-M&M cookie dough, that's in the fridge until Dad gets home from work this afternoon.  Not sure what all they're going to do with 9 dozen cookies, lol...some for the librarians, some for Grandma and Grandpa, and some for a "cookie castle", complete with candy decorations and frosting to hold it all together.  Should be fun!

Not much else going on.  I'm working this morning on getting his lapbook materials together for the rest of the year.  I've decided to keep them in the portfolio folders, the ones with the 3 prongs, until we're ready to use them.  I printed out the research stuff and activity notes on plain paper at the library, and printed off the foldables on cardstock at home.  I hole-punched the research info and inserted it into the prongs, and I've got the cardstock in the folder part waiting to be cut out and used.  I 3-hole punched a gallon plastic ziploc bag and put it behind the research info, to hold the completed foldables.  I've got the cut, uncompleted foldables in a smaller plastic baggie, in order so they're easy to find when we get to the point of using them.

I am so loving the lapbooking!  Ty gets upset if we can't do some research or foldables each day (the way he used to get upset at having to do the workbooks).  We're about halfway through the Anglo-Saxons, and I'm prepping the Middle Ages one next.  (both from www.handsofachild.com)  I'll write in a few days about that one :-)  Can you tell I'm having fun, too? :-)
