So proud...

Today at 4-H, C.O. won (in his 5-8 age group) for best poster, for the upcoming 4-H fundraising barbeque! This means his poster will go on to be judged at the county level! Here it is...



He is so very excited - he had the greatest smile ever when he heard his name being called! He couldn't wait to show his daddy (who is thrilled too BTW). C.O. spent 3 days working feverishly on the poster so this was very gratifying.

In homeschool news, we are making good progress in math. C.O. is still reluctant to read if asked, though he is becoming more fluent. We're continuing, at his request, with planetary studies for another month'ish, and we're still studying the United States for social studies. C.J. is working hard on writing numbers and letters, and coloring. She colors inside the lines nearly as well as her brother.

The weather here is fantastic. It's sunny and warm, and the kids play outside all evening with the neighbor kids. There's a new little girl neighbor (she's only here 3 days a week) that C.J. has befriended - they're really cute running around together. C.O. runs around like a maniac with 2-3 other boys, all ages 6-8, riding scooters, playing HotWheels, trying unsuccessfully to climb trees.
