Update

Time just goes too fast.

Is it really week three of school?

All is going well. The kids are bright and love to wriggle out of doing their work, but I find their craftiness to be a sign of high intelligence, so sometimes I let them get away with it.

Noble is loving writing research type papers and Lima is loving writing made up short stories. Hewy scribbles back and forth and paper ands says, "my rocket is going fast!" All success stories of the co-op writing class we are doing. My hope in teaching the class was to get their creative juices flowing on to paper. We discussed all the different things they could write, short stories, research, movie scripts, comic books, playwrights, autobiographies, biographies, fiction, commercials, TV shows, newspaper articles, magazine articles, etc. etc. Thankfully not only my kids have caught the writing bug, but the kids in our co-op have too. This week their Mom reported back to me that her oldest boy just started writing short stories one day. This made her happy and me too!!!

Blokus is one of our favorite games right now. We can all play together and even get Grandmama and Grandpa in on it sometimes.

Noble continues to love cooking and following recipes. William loves to make believe and pull us all into his word.

It's rough, but I wouldn't change it.
