The boys are being bookworms this week. They don't think they like to read but once I get them started, they go crazy. They are required to read independently for 30 minutes a day. Adam read two complete chapter books yesterday! They weren't award winning literature but he enjoyed them. Ryan started his 30 minutes of reading an hour ago and he's still reading!

I found our
Leap Pad today and gave it to Evan to use for math. He did a monster money book with the Leap Pad. After fighting with Matthew over it and then playing with it for almost an hour, he informed me that, "It's stupid. I don't like it." I wonder how long he would have played with it if it had been FUN! LOL
Poor Ryan has some sort of ailment that only flares up when it's time to do school. The poor child somehow manages to come down with a headache when it's time to do spelling. Or his elbow starts hurting when it's time for our Bible lesson. It's amazing the way the problems never appear when he's playing football or eating lunch.

Funny,, Tristen get's that same ailment when it's bedtime. I'm pretty sure it's not catching, I think it's congenital. I hear they grow out of it by the time they're like 30 or so! LOL
Aww, poor Ryan with his strange, mysterious ailment. Maybe you should see a specialist. ;-)

How fun! Timmy is working on 1-2 grade Math and he's just 2 weeks shy of his fifth bday. It's amazing how much kids can and want to learn when there's no one there to limit them to a class schedule.
