Color Wheel

The other day Luke was asking me about the color wheel so with a little help from Google images we looked up some color wheels. I briefly told them about warm colors, cool colors and contrasting colors. This morning I had color wheels for them to fill in but Luke was not interested so here is Isabel's cute wheel.

What Luke was interested in was having me play his Line Man World 3. I certainly didn't know there were so many rules. You can kill a guy by circling him, there was one level that I could only "jump" 2 millimeters high and at the end on level 10 he got out his pencil and tried to bump my pencil into the spikes. Wow, what an exciting game. Luke says that he wants to be a horticulturist and his hobby to be designing video games "just for his family."

Isabel drew a map this morning and practiced in her writing book. I read some Shel Silverstein poems to them and now they are doing their math. Now I need to go read a book to Sylvia because I feel so guilty for constantly saying "later" to her.

Sylvia just now saw this blog entry and wondered where her color wheel was, so here it is. (Those are faces, and the blue was Isabel trying to encourage Sylvia to COLOR her color wheel.) Hehehe.

Cat by Sylvia

Yesterday we went to the pool with Andrea and her boys to meet (convince) another mom who is thinking about homeschooling. There were a lot of people there and we didn't get to talk very much but I got the impression that there is a good chance that she will homeschool her children. I am very excited about that because it means another boy Luke's age that will be home during school hours. I just feel bad for Luke when we go to an activity and he is the oldest kid there. So I hate to be one of those moms who thinks that her 2 year old is a genius, but seriously, is this not the cutest drawing of a cat. Sylvia had been watching Shrek 2 and tried to draw Puss.

Line Man World 3

Line Man is a video game style maze that Luke draws for me to do. If you look closely you can see that there are ten levels. The object of the game is to draw a line through each level without touching a dot, spike, swirl, etc. Also, there are little extras like if you get a star then you are invincible for ten seconds (imagine Luke over my shoulder counting to ten.) I know you are dying to play. I really need to sharpen my pencil for this one.

Last night Luke had his piano recital. Here is the future Mozart.
