Here is another random post of pictures to give a sense of day to day activities. William was eating his 100th pretzel when he realized that he had made a horse. This has now become the new game to play when eating pretzels. They really are pretty good at making letters.
Buzz Lightyear and Darth Vader doing battle over an espresso pot. (Don't worry, Eric gave this to the boys to play with a long time ago. No punishment was inevitable). The boys are quite entertaining to listen to when playing with their action figures. Most of the dialogue consists of: "I am Darth Vader (audible breathing)" "I am Buzz Lightyear. To Infinity and Beyond" "I am Spiderman, I'm swinging into action". and so forth.
I wrote several weeks ago about using scraps of paper to make mosaics. Here are a few of the results. Guess which is mine :).
As a cheapskate, I really hate to spend money when I can use things around the house for lessons. A prime example is that we keep a tin of poker chips handy for addition and subtraction lessons. Also sorting and patterns. The chess pieces are great for learning how to pick up after yourself.
Molly knows that books are important, but has not quite figured out how they are. As you can see, she confuses them with another important thing in her life: Food.
Our "T" collage. Dom is actually pretty bored with making the collages, but loves to help me come up with words. A funny anecdote (at least to me) happened this week. Some, if not all, of you know that I have some issues with the letter "C" and its existence. This past week we were working on sounding out words and spelling. I asked Dom to spell "Candy" (we are doing Christmas themed words). He starts by saying "K", when he sees my expression he goes: "Oh, it sounds like K, but it looks like a C." What a trooper!
I think Will took the above picture of our U words. I explained to the boys that Uncle Sam was used as a code word for the United States. They weren't very impressed. But, umbrella was a huge hit. (stay tuned for pictures of the boys cavorting in our flooded backyard)
My attempt at being a little more fashionable. And after all of that we were exhausted:

I am so impressed with all the little school ideas you have. I think I may do some of them with Owen. If I can get the motivation. He'd love it, I'm sure. Or, maybe I'll just ship him to Ohio to your house.
I know which mosiac is yours! And I really like your scarf!
Did Molly take that last pic??
