Happy times through hazy days!

Well it was a good day today.  I spent most of the morning doing the normal "teacher" duties and let me just say the children (well 2 of them) were really focused on completing and not giving me many difficulties.  The eldest, of all people, was in a funk.  The reason was two-fold.  1.  He was woken up early - by little brother making too much noise.  2.  He did not want to do his poetry lesson.  Once all that was figured out we were able to address each problem and continue on with work.  I think once he realized how fun writing a limerick is, he was able and eager to write one.  He had lots of good ideas started and once he wrote them down all went easy-peasy.  Here is his finished product: (going on memory)

There was a sad man from Spain.

Who had some pain.

On his back

There was a tack.

So he traveled to Maine.

Next week he gets to write a free-verse poem.  Oh joy!!   The other excitement for him was beginning his blog.  I will not bore you again as I previously posted about that.  And finally tonight he goes off to Youth Group!!!  While he is there we will be heading over to Home Fellowship.  We have been off for a month now due to all the different things that were happening during the month of April.   It will be good to see all and dig back into Romans.

Son Joshua was and usually is very eager to comply and do his work.  He just finished his second science book for the year.  He is already doing 2nd grade math along with finishing his 1st grade curriculum.  History is almost complete for him.  There are just a short few pages but it is more about places to visit than actual learning.  (Which is okay.)

Miss Abs was an eager beaver today and really did her work fast and good.  I was a little lax with her as I was helping Stephen get started with his blog and poem stuff but that is okay because by Friday she is usually fried.
