This week's learnings & haps

Ok, the Time Life series on The Maya (narrated by Sam Waterston!) was a bust but everything else is going pretty well this week.

Emma had 2 baby teeth pulled yesterday and then Rob took the kids to their auditions for Hansel and Gretel. They said it went well.

The girls really enjoyed last week's lessons on flower reproduction so we continued a bit with that today. We had picked up some wilted flowers from the lovely florist at the grocery store yesterday. Today, we dissected carnations, roses and gerber daisies. We identified the parts and talked about the reproductive process again. The girls used colored pencils and pastels to draw what they saw. We used the last of the white roses and carnations to play with color----we put them in small vases with water and food coloring. We already have some newly blue and pink flowers. I'll try and get pics up soon.

I attended Parents Orientation for Keystone today. It was about an hour long and generally informative. They have these online parent meetings every month and it looks like they will be generally useful things.

The kids are all cleaning their rooms. They leave for Disney on Sunday and I've got company coming so we'll need their rooms clean and ready. I'll save sheet changing and bed making for Sunday night, but the rest needs to be done by Friday. We have a very busy Sunday and their flight it at O'dark thirty Sunday morning.

Wow, this has been a rather boring blog. Yeah, sorry.
