Those are pictures from our first Phys Ed class (hiking in Kananaskis Country). I'll add some more pics throughout the post...
In Social Studies, we're learning about Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and the like. We were looking at a Map trying to find where Mespotamia is and Kienna says (in all seriousness), "Well, I know that it's close to Chicken". "What?" "Chicken, remember? Right by the Euphrates River!" "OOOHhhhh..... Turkey!"
At a Home Schoolers Picnic!!
We were reading Ether 9 today. We were reading about Omer and Jared and Akish and all the secret combinations, killing the kings to get power and how it caused a billion wars etc. Then it continues to the point where it wipes EVERYONE out of the whole Jaredite civilization except for like 30 people. Then the good king was made king again, he confirms the kingdom on his righteous son, Emer, - and then in vs 16 you read: "
And the Lord began again to take the curse from off the land, and the house of Emer did prosper exceedingly under the reign of Emer; and in the space of sixty and two years they had become exceedingly strong, insomuch that they became exceedingly rich—". At this point, Kaia groaned, put her head down on the table and said, "Not again!!" I laughed because most people are happy when other people prosper... but Kaia has noticed the pattern and KNEW that within a page, they would become prideful and then they'd be stupid again. It made me laugh so hard!

After School for today was done, it was clean up time and Saryn was putting her book away. She paused and asked me, "Mom, How do Indians hold books?" I didn't really know how to answer that one. I'm fairly certain they carry them with their hands like the rest of the world... but if someone else knows a different answer, please let me know!
Some random shots from around the house:

| Benson has taken up the piano. He's really very good. Imagine what will happen when he can see the keys! |

| After finishing the book, "Secret Garden", we had a movie night to see it in motion! |

| Oh yeah, and Jarett had a birthday! Happy 34th you old man!! |

I skimmed that lost comment and just read, "Jarett looks delicious" and I figured I better read it more closely.
Sorry, I'm off topic. Love all the home school adventures. Chicken instead of Turkey... HA HA HA! Too funny. Love the close up pic of Benson (I'm so glad we've now met).And Kaia's "not again!"
Happy Belated Jarett! I thought of you on your big day, though did nothing about it... if that counts for anything.
