Tuesday and Wednesday

Someone asked if we were able to get school done in the midst of all our celebrating. Yes.....Illness, however, has thrown us off this week. I simply don't have heart to make a sick child do school....and since the younger ones do school together this presented a problem.
Arielle and I decided to spend Monday and Tuesday working on her writing. She is still trying to skip ahead, and I can't keep her busy with the current assignments. Math and LA are the two areas that she has to catch up before she can officially skip ahead. Not that any of this matters in the REAL world.  I mean there is no reason she can't do 4th grade math and 8th grade history/lit, but she wants to be able to say she's in 6th grade next year.
Today, Nolan was able to join us, and we decided to move ahead with our "books" and continue to work in our hands-on projects as we can....in other words we're still doing hands on projects from China and the Mayans....but we're starting Greece anyway. LOL
Arielle, Zander, Stacia and I made it to the gym today. I also did 20 minutes of a video here at home. I forgot yesterday and so did 95 minutes today....I'm not sure that is EXACTLY what they meant by 40 minutes most days of the week. ::snort::
Just the same ol' life....nothing totally new and fascinating, but it's my life, and I love it. LOL
Ah, the younger four children do NOT like Arthur Loops! ::snort::
I tried a pecan encrusted chicken salad at Carinos the other night and tried to recreate it here tonight. It was GOOD, Heather.
