Our Day in Pictures

Megan and Tim had Graham crackers with peanut butter and bananas for breakfast. Drew and Ellen had already gone to school.





Megan did her school work. This is speech. In math we worked on patterns and calendar. We're learning about action verbs in grammar. She's practicing reading 3 letter words. Today she practiced writing capital and lower case r. We're almost finished reading The Railway Children. We're learning about plants in science. We're studying the Middle Ages in history and reading The Canterbury Tales to go along with it. History is slow going this time of year because it's difficult to gather all 3 in the same place at the same time. She loves to do maps.

Tim had a check-up this afternoon. He weighs 22 lbs 13 oz and is 32.5" tall. Does it become tall instead of long once a child is vertical? He lost a few ounces but grew 2.5" in the last 3 months. I'm not worried and the doctor didn't seem concerned either. He is VERY active and he's related to me. But, I think he's my first to ever go backwards in weight. He recently became a picky eater. Even though I'm not worried, I'll be making sure he gets protein.





Tuesday is piano lessons. I took the little 2 to the library while the big 2 had their lessons. It is just the right amount of time!





Last stop, soccer. It was the first day and it took over 30 minutes to locate her field and team. There are something like 25 field with 2 teams on each. Chaotic and unorganized is an understatement. However, I'm not complaining lest I end up with the job!



We fit in a few other things, too. We did a load of laundry this morning. Tim had a nap and we ate lunch before the doctor. After the doctor we came home and had time to make bagels for snack today and breakfast tomorrow and Oriental Beef Salad for dinner. So, dinner was ready when we got home at 7:15. Ellen had a shower and I'll catch the little ones tomorrow morning. The youngest 3 are in bed and Drew is on his way momentarily.
