Life on our corner

We have been learning all about American Indians this week.  Today we made a wigwam and tepee.  Reuben really wanted to send his tepee to Benjamin.  I tried to explain that it would get smashed so sending pictures to Benjamin would be just as cool!    Framing the wigwam   He looks stressed, but he was really pleased.   Trying to keep her busy and out of the indian housing projects     More serious wigwam work     A few pictures of Curly Top for Aunt Tori!    

The weather was hot and our books were here so we started school this week.  We started on Monday with a special breakfast.  The kids choose breakfast burritos.  Please don't break the glass Reuben. Blueberries! No special cup for your girlie! We were all supposed to be working at the table.  It was CHAOS! Working on his math. She asked a million questions and loved every minute of it! Class clown And now you can see my distraction issue. She got to pick out her attire for the day. She chose her fancy dress and a braid bun in her hair, like Laura Ingals when she was a teacher not a student. Watching a science clip together She is holding Jonah's sign that says "1st day of Second Grade" Daddy took us out to lunch. The kids choose McDonald's. I saved my calories for a much better treat than McDonald's!
