After all that griping and setting up a new blog, I haven't even bothered to post anything. Bad Blogger!!
The last couple days have been pretty ho hum. I'll give you the highlights....
We played a new game for Language. It's called There, Their, and They're... or was that They're, Their, and There? ;) Adam and Ryan each had three cards. Guess what the cards said.... That's right!!! There, Their, and They're (one on each card). I'd say a sentence with the word "there" or "their" or "they're" and they'd show the appropriate card. They got a point if they got it right. Adam didn't miss any. Ryan missed only a couple "they're"s. The last sentence was, "They're going to put their presents over there." They got a kick out of that one! Actually, they enjoyed the whole game. They enjoy any Language assignment that doesn't involve writing! LOL Maybe we'll play Two, To, and Too next week. ;)
We visited Highlands Museum and Discovery Center in Ashland, KY on Thursday. It was a field trip with our co-op friends. This is a very cool place. The kids all had a blast. I found it amusing that all the homeschooled children spent time dressing up in period garb and playing school in the one room school house. Adam was the teacher and Ryan was the disobedient student. LOL Evan was only interested in the squeaky hot dog from one of the lunch pails. I really don't think the early pioneers ate many hot dogs!! I'll try to post some pictures if I ever get them downloaded from the camera.
We're reading Moccasin Trail for History/Reading and I love it. The boys love it too... now. They're always slow to warm up to new books so it's a fight to get them started. But this one is full of action.. perfect for boys. Ryan listens to books like he watches movies... lots of questions!!! Usually asked just before the movie/book answers the question! It's hard to get through a chapter with his constant questions but at least he's interested enough to ask! And some of them are really soul searching questions. He's having trouble grasping the concept that whites and Indians didn't always get along with each other. I like this book b/c it presents both points of view.

Diito hsmomof3!
That books sound like something Kellen would love too. Did you get it at the library?
BTW a cake decorating class sounds like a great idea! Let's check into it!
LOL, as I started reading your entry I was going to suggest the game "To, Too, and Two" also... but you beat me to it. We played that one a week or two ago. The cards are now taped up on our sight word wall in a neat little row. Too bad it doesn't actually help Cameron to read two as "tw-oh" (rhymes with slow).
