A Small Update

I've been trying to blog now for several days, even started twice (you can tell coz I posted videos--I almost always do that first) and cannot have a moment to do it.  I've wanted to post about the kids starting CLE though.  Thing 2 is just cruising through the workbooks.  He works mostly on his own with minimal corrections needed.  Thing 1 is another story...as usual.  He's trying to adjust to this method of learning. I think he'll do well eventually.  He did about half the work on his own today.  He still needs a little assistance with anything creative.  I hope this will help him in that area.  The Teenager will not begin until we start back in August.  He has his work to finish I had already laid out for him.  H-F is still finishing the preschool workbooks from (technically) R&S then will start the "pre-K" books in August.

Here are a few pics of Things 1 & 2 working.

Thing 2 did this drawing in his Social Studies workbook.  It's him & H-F (respectively) with their wardrobes. :)

Thing 2 working hard.

This is a drawing Thing 2 did for Reading today.  Two boys & a girl eating lunch under a tree. :)

Thing 1 working on Language Arts.  He did a few drawings today as well.  I'll have to look for them tomorrow and take pics.  I was very pleased that he did them and didn't put up an argument. I think he's more interested in doing what is requested because the books are "Christian."  Both my middles are very motivated by their faith.  What can make a mom happier? :)

Hopefully life will slow down so I can at least post a daily gratitude.  I have spent the past two days recovering from the previous four days. :D  Tomorrow we should be completely back on track. (Well, as long as I don't make anymore lists. LOL)
