An easy day of school while we recuperate from a weekend of fluI was actually afraid to start school this year. The attitude and backbiting in our family over the summer was getting really horrible and I didn't want to think about schooling this crew. But God gave us grace! While we still have attitude problems (myself included)and way too much competition among the ranks we are actually accomplishing our school work and sometimes (on those rare occasions) we have fun!
Here are some pictures since I've been such a poor blogger:
Making an American Indian wigwam
A sailing ship like explores of North American may have used
Observing how salt water is more buoyant than fresh
Another wigwam
A fun train field trip with Daddy
Painting the rivers on our salt map of the USA
Our salt map finished and labeled -- complete with our American Indian artifacts!
Another fun field trip--this time colonial style
Can these be my younger children and my youngest niece? Yikes--they look like preteens if ever I saw one! Dressed for the symphony (daytime--for kids)

He does lots of school work too--but manages to stay out of our pictures. Perhaps because he has become the photographer now that Annie is away!
