Jessie's new instrument
It is only Wednesday and it has already been a full week!
Jessie invented a “guitar”, painted it and explained it herself here. Too cute! This is all out-of-the-blue with no prompting or help.
Then today she proudly proclaimed, “Mommy! ‘actually’ and ‘architect’ start with ‘A’.” We’ve been working on the letter A this week and she asked (before I could suggest it) if we could make a list of A words. LOL!
Sam is pleased as punch with his progress in Latin and so am I. He even read one of the sentences from MY Latin homework: ” Periculum non parvum erat.” I only had to tell him what “erat” meant and he translated it immediately. He then suggested we put Japanese aside for now to concentrate on Latin. (insert happy homeschooling mom dance) He is also sailing through Singapore math so far!
Yesterday we accidentally went to the library book sale. Seriously. I’d forgotten about it because I’d been avoiding it for so long. (don’t look at me like that I’m being serious) Brought home some great old books… Sam picked out “Shakespeare’s Great Works” O_O and I found some really cool kids books for Jessie, like “The Alligator and the Magic Mouse”. And since alligator starts with A, it was perfect.
A visitor for story time
Oh! Today, while I was reading to Jessie a rather long rat snake peeked in the window. LOL! I really wish I could have gotten a pic of him looking in and Jess looking out.
Found some great gluten-free blogs and info this week too!
Gotta go. Sam is jonesing for the computer and I must clean so that I can dirty it again.
Cool snake!
Thanks Chelsea! We see this one (or one just like it) regularly trying to climb up the walls outside the house. Kinda like seeing an old friend. Makes us happy.
