This week, we...
...had a meltdown of sorts.
...played You've Been Sentenced (which, by the way, is a great, and fun, way to work with language).
...laughed our way through an episode of Drunk History, learning about scientist Percy Julian; the [teenage] woman behind Rosa Parks—Claudette Colvin; and fighting champion Joe Louis. The first two parts were the best—our sides were aching from laughing!
...did some math. The Boy is doing very well with Teaching Textbooks, and The Girl is plugging away with Math Mammoth. I plan to break out Totally Tut over the weekend for some operations review with both.
...read some more of The Shakespeare Stealer.
...watched the eclipse as the moon rose.
...spent a while gazing at the moon through binoculars the following night, and talking about how the moon influences the tide.
...decided we miss hanging out on the couch reading together.
...started making a list of October movies to watch, among them The Addams Family (the first one is best), Sleepy Hollow, The Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Arsenic & Old Lace, Edward Scissorhands, and maybe Sweeney Todd. (Do you see the awesome Depp theme running through there? What does that say about us, or him?)

The Boy...
...worked on his 3D art project, which is a pop-up book he is making about...CARS (surprise!)!
...finally got to use some power (and hand) tools in his Machine Tool Technology class.
...worked on some video editing.
...detailed the inside of my car. It hasn't been this clean in years!
The Girl...
...worked on a lovely art project with her dad (I'll post pictures soon), as well as about 5 or 6 other art projects.
...read Smoky Mountain Rose for her Cinderella studies.
...finished her spelling for the week, with 100% on her test.
...devoured a few episodes of The Life of Mammals, as well as a couple of shows on undersea creatures.
..helped cook a couple of dinners, and made some fantastic black-bean brownies. I'll share the recipe soon!

Sounds like my kind of week :) We watched the eclipse too. I think we were the only ones of our friends who did - maybe something to do with it being at 3am over here!
ReplyDeleteOh I haven't seen the Addams family in so long- for whatever reason I never thought to watch it now that the kids are older. Have a great weekend!
