Today is…Monday June 6 2011
We prayed.
We talked about prophets and prophesies:
We did our morning message, with Ettin circling letters,
…and Giant reading the words:
Then we played a math racing game:
We wanted our critters to make it to the end of the number line first.
We picked numbers (1-3) drawn on cards:
And added a critter to his friends, emphasizing saying the word equation (5 + 1 = 6, for example):
Then friends came over to play!
Ettin took a break to help me prep a supper experiment:
They finger painted (and mommy just about lost it. Children are soooo good at teaching patience and love. And forgiveness.).
Then, while mommy cleaned up a rather large paint mess, the boys sang loudly while playing elastic band instruments:
Then we worked for a while in the garden.
Galoot is pretty sure he belongs outside. After working in the garden for a couple of hours, this boy was covered in mud (they just don’t make a bib for that 😉 ). Worried that I might be reported to child services, I took him in to get him cleaned up. He tried his hardest to get away from me, and made a break for it when I was distracted for a moment:
We watched Diego. After banning movies last week (due to rather horrid tantrums being thrown), I told them we could try watching one episode of Diego:
Then, to entice them back away from the computer, I built blocks with them for a bit:
They sang their abcs and read stories together:
…and they were just so darn cute I had to join them for some story time too:
Schooling was everywhere, but I still feel that we got a lot accomplished!
