Lots-o-limbs

You know your kids are getting close to those teenage years when every time you look at them it seems like they have limbs sticking out everywhere.  :) Ready or not, here come the tweens!  

Composing

Josiah has started working on writing his song again.  Here he is working on it tonight:  

The Cat Wearer

The kids are often jealous because Idgie loves to ride around on my shoulder.  But let me tell you, it makes things REALLy complicated!!  It's like holding a newborn--with claws!  

Plus, morning school prep is a bit more quite difficult with a purring cat riding on my shoulder.  Anyone know of a way to cat wear so I can still have 2 hands free??

It's Math U See!

We're starting the day off with some math.  At our house, we love Math-u-see.  I love how it allows them to see the math concepts, the how and why for adding and subtracting as well as multiplying and dividing.  As the boys have gotten older, I feel like they have a solid understanding of numbers and how they work together, which has made me even more excited to teach the girls with this curricuculum.  :).
