Back to School

 Everyone started school back full tilt this week. We were all pretty happy to get back to our regular schedule and activities, even if some of us (Crawdad) were a bit unfocused. :)

To the right, Crawdad practices spelling words while Cub (below) frowns at his science book. :P

 Taz still loves her ETC Primer workbooks. She's almost done with the second one. I've taken to having her color the pictures to slow her down. :P She does great with the letter sounds and activities, but still has a hard time forming some of the letters. Oh well. She's not quite 5 yet. It'll come. :)

Below, she shows off a door hanger she made. She LOVED sticking stickers on these things, and made 5 of them in one sitting.

Having a picnic

Yes, this is my daughter eating a broken up cheese stick from a bowl like a cat. See the ears? She's in character. Giggle.

He showed up at the school table like this this morning. I thought he was cute. :)

To the right, Kittycat Taz does phonics.

Below....well, um....yeah. The kid has brothers. What can I say? :P

Researching Assisi, Italy

She's getting pretty good on that bike. :)

Somehow, I only wound up with two pictures of Crawdad so far this week, and I'm frustrated with this one. I have got to find a way to make his work show up better in pictures. This is a science notebooking page. We are studying Ben Franklin in Bigger, and Crawdad was supposed to create his own invention to help combat a problem people face today. I expected him to figure out a new way to blow things up because, well, that's Crawdad. :P What he came up with, though, is a computer chip that is injected into a person's blood stream and can send information back to their doctor's computer. I think someone somewhere is actually working on something similar, but he doesn't know that, and I'm not going to tell him.
