Knickerbocker & Charlemagne

I have to mention how much we love our cats. They are playful, but most importantly...

...they love to be dragged around (and occasionally choked) by Hazel.

The mostly white cat is the boy, Nick, a.k.a. Knickerbocker. The dark grey cat is the girl, Charlotte, a.k.a. Charlemagne.

Some "Viking Bread" we made to go along with our History lesson about Eric the Red and his son, Leif Ericson.

A lot of Tuesday nights end up with just the girls at home since Luke has cub scouts, so we have a girl party. Last night we painted toe nails. Isabel helped me out with my toes!

Cancer Sculptures and Dirty Jobs

Today we visited the park

Our favorite was the sculpture about cancer.

Sylvia is always asking for a dirty job to do. I had her fill in a few nail holes with Spackle, but that wasn't dirty enough for her so I had her fill a bucket full of mud. Did she know it was pointless? Of course not. Did I make more work for myself by giving her this job? Of course. Did she enjoy every minute of it. Why yes, yes she did indeed.

Isabel Finished Gamma!

Congratulations to Isabel for finishing her Gamma Math book!

Isabel wanted to have a math party with her friends to celebrate. I didn't take any pictures of the party (because who has time when you're busy partying) but here is Isabel (and company) making party preparations.

Isabel made some paper fish with mathematical equations on them for the fishing game and the girls made some Don't Eat Pete boards for our Don't Eat Pete game.

Hooray for Isabel! (I love how her Don't Eat Pete game board has a tooth theme.
