The pickins was slim.
But the girls came out with a costume each, and Hudson got a pair of gloves whose tips light up. We won't tell him they're aimed at women, because they were substantially cheaper than the costumes he decided he didn't want.
Besides, he'd just gotten the Batman costume at Kohl's.
He also realizes that superheros need to learn to read.
Jasmine realizes the importance of always looking her best.
Bekah likes being a peacock and doesn't mind that the costume didn't come with wings.
Yesterday, I told the kids we would do science experiments once they got their basic school done. Hudson fell asleep during their math pages.
The girls and I went to the kitchen and did four simple experiments (two that worked; two that, well, were educational anyways)
After lunch, Hudson asked if we could do science experiments. Poor kid missed the whole thing!
They're outside right now, looking for two pieces of wood to do an experiment that's intrigued Jasmine. I'll be curious to see if they're successful.
The girls finished their spelling book, but I'm giving Bekah more time practicing the rules taught in level 1. She's only 5 1/2, as easy as it is to forget that from time to time. She's bordering on overwhelmed, so we'll spend more time and give her more confidence.
I'm thrilled that both are willing to try to write now, though. Bekah's started writing letters/cards to people she's going to see. they're highly entertaining and nearly readable. She has yet to learn how to put spaces between words yet, thus the "nearly" readable. And Jasmine's letters are suddenly going the right directions almost all the time, so yay for victories! (methinks it was a stubbornness like my refusal to say my "r" until I was good and ready).
Happy weekend!
