It's been a crazy, yet productive week.Adam and Ryan started A Beka Science on Monday. We should have started it long ago but I think it's a half year course so we'll be fine. I'm having them work together from the 7th grade book. Rye's only in 5th but he's a smart cookie and it'll be easier for all of us if we do it together. We read the first section and tried an experiment to illustrate the scientific method. The idea was to see how water got inside seeds. So we used nail polish to paint over the little holes in one group of beans. Then we soaked them in water and soaked an unpainted group in water. I totally copied this experiment straight from the book. But when we checked our beans the next day, the nail polish had peeled off and was floating on top of the water. Science experiments are so-o-o-o not my thing!
Tuesday was the crazy day. Jeff took Adam to the dentist in the morning while the rest of went to co-op early. The fire department brought their engines and the smokehouse to the church where we do our co-op. They did a great presentation on fire safety. The kids were asking so many questions, we ended up running into co-op time. But that's okay. Jeff dropped Adam off in time for co-op classes. Following co-op, we went roller skating. That's a monthly thing and the older boys love it. Ryan won the limbo competition again. He hasn't lost one yet.
Thursday was mine and Ryan's turn to go to the dentist. Ryan got his first filling ever. Don't tell anyone, but the big tough football player almost shed a tear or two when that needle went into his gums. And later, *I* did shed some tears of my own. But that deserves a post of its own. And due to those tears and the pain that caused them, we cancelled school for the rest of the day. Matthew and I took a nap and the rest of them watched a movie.
Friday was full morning and I got the laundry caught up. But by the afternoon, I was wiped out so I took my drugs and enjoyed another nap with my baby.
That baby is now bugging me to go play Little People so I'm going to do that instead of trying to find fire truck pictures to add to this post. You've all seen fire trucks before, right?

Dentist are in no fun. I have shed an tear or two myself sitting there. Mine(dentist) did not seem to concerned about it either.
Have an good weekend:)
Firetrucks are always fun, assuming you are visiting them and not them visiting you I mean ;)
I'm not sure I've ever seen a fire truck. Can you find those pictures, please? ;-)
I hate going to the dentist. It's an all day affair for us, since we all go on the same day. Of course, I don't stay for the whole thing. We usually plan it so that Brian can come from work and he brings home whoever hasn't had a turn by the time he gets there. It's no fun, but at least when that day is over I don't have to fool with it for six more months.
