A little of this, a little of that.

The holidays are over.  Christmas decorations are put up.  It's cold outside.  School is in full force.  Normal life has resumed.  I was dreading it, but after a couple days in, I was surprised with how much I like what we normally do.  It suites me, even the making of massive amounts of pb & j.  For these little guys, even the mundane is sweet.

The picnic.

Poor little girl.  Couldn't find any girl stuff to play with at our house.
But she may run for vice-president one day.

Math while I make dinner.

We have those same math manipulatives AND the same pencils!! Just sayin'. :-) What curriculum do you use, by the way? Very curious as to what program / curriculum Asher was using on the computer.

K, he was using Teaching Textbooks. They have never used the computer until now, but I needed the time to focus on other subjects (since you know good and well, Katherine, that there are only so many peaceful minutes in the day)! The thing I like about it is that I don't do a thing, except check their grade books to make sure that they are doing okay. With Saxon, math took 30-45 minutes of my time, and now I spend that time on English which they need more help in. Math is something they have never struggled with.
Maybe I'll do a post about the other stuff we are doing right now...
I'd be very interested in what you are doing too :)
