Wow, I've given birth to Captain Kirk...not even kidding :-)  Ty's just finishing up his math, and he tends to get going on a rhythm and miss little details - you know, like whether the equation says to add or subtract?  So his solution, instead of to erase and do it correctly, is to change the function sign to what he wants it to be, and move on to the next question.  Oy...all of this while buzzing off the song from "Crazy Frog" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMFsBjoAyUs&mode=related&search= (way too funny!)

Wow, I've been off here for a long time!  December was pretty much a sleep-in rest month, which I realized we haven't taken in ages...like ever.  We worked some on our Symbols of Christmas lapbook from www.handsofachild.com (fun!), made lots of cookies, played with toys and games, and slept in.  We're back in full swing now, but it sure was nice :-)

Let's see.  We're studying Bats in Zoology (which I thought I'd hate, but they're pretty interesting!) and Ty's writing "The Wolf Who Cried Boy" for a self-imposed IEW assignment - while I'm laughing so hard I can barely type it out with him!  He decided he's ready for a deeper Bible Study time, so I went looking around and found Heart of Wisdom (www.heartofwisdom.com) - which I love!  They have some great ebook specials, so I went ahead and got some - I've got to say I'm impressed!  We're going to start using their history unit - Adam to Abraham - in a couple of years, and we'll start with their science next year as an extra unit.  I think we'll start with their Bible study stuff next week!

He's also decided he's ready for cursive, which he's working on right now with A Reason For Handwriting T.  It's going pretty well!

Well, we got hit by the ice storm, but not as badly as some.  We have power, which we're thankful for!  The whole place is under about 3-4 inches of ice...it took me 40 minutes to make a 5-mile round trip yesterday to take dh to work!

Let's see...today we're going to make some Redwall recipes, check his rock tumbler, read a bunch of Mattimeo by Brian Jacques and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Emma Gelders Sterne.  We'll probably get some Ranger and Scout stuff done, all while I'm trying to talk him out of setting off his rocket in the living room (because it's just too cold outside, you see!).  Whew!
