Anders faithfully scrubs an aquarium to prepare a new home for his...children????
Yep, his dwarf hamster Dodger had 8 babies. Mean Ol' Mama is...thrilled...[ahem...].
The boys were excited to finish one of our 3 read-alouds. We especially enjoyed this historical fiction about the Assyrian invasion of Ancient Egypt. Now on to another book...
Poppins brought home a real treat: remote-controlled helicopters. He's such a fun, loving father.
The boys cooked deer steak with their cousins and then came in to...eat again. Gotta be a boy thing.
And finally, a view from Mean Ol' Mama's window: the water pump being replaced on our well. We're really excited to have the water pressure problem fixed.
We've had an easy-going week of schoolwork, hanging close to home (except for singing & playing at a funeral on Tuesday). Our goal is to work hard to finish Sassafras Hill school by the end of February. This is basically one year's work (3 R's) packed into 9 weeks. We then switch back to Vision Magnet schooling for the rest of the year (heavy on music, languages, and performances).
