This week's project

Last week Jared researched The Royal Game of Ur. He decided he could do a better job with the project than he had done. Yay - son! I challenged him to be a leader and get the little ones involved in the project. I encouraged him that he didn't have to have it done "on schedule" - that he could work on it in bits and pieces. I told him I'd go buy FINISHED wood and we could do it right.

I heard pounding....I looked. He found scrap wood and was busy working. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Before long he was joined by eager helpers.

Mike came home and took the opportunity to begin teaching "guy things". Jared said he made some comment like, "I've been negligent". I guess Jared is going to learn some skills we hadn't
planned.

Thus a family project is born! I love the lifestyle of homeschooling!

BTW we had a cold snap!!! I love it.

I love the term "lifestyle." In fact, I just explained our homeschool to someone that way on Monday.

I love it when it gets cold too! This time, though, I got to shop for REAL winter clothes.

Looks like the guys were having good bonding time.
