Back to School-July

I'm embarrassingly behind, obviously, and I can blame it on a thousand different things, but sadly, mostly it's because of the space key. Bram broke it off and now it's so much harder to type on the laptop, and it's hard to watch Bram upstairs to work on the desktop, and I never think to blog once he's asleep, and it's way more expensive than it's worth to fix the laptop...and anyway, you get the idea.

We went back to school in July with a couple of days a week. We started a few subjects and worked lots on the American Revolution and other history to get ready for our trip to Philadelphia and Washington,DC at the end of the month. It really paid off because it allowed us to ease back into a schedule, really got the girls prepared for the sites we saw and socked away some days so we could play hooky later.


Art is one of every one's favorite subjects and I love it when we have something we all do together.

Bram in a brief stop in the playpen. He never lasts long there, and is usually crawling around our feet instead.

Molly loves Kindergarten and is very fun to work with, even though phonics is a little frustrating. I worried about teaching reading all summer and unfortunately, it's been about as hard as I anticipated. She's slowly catching on, but we definitely have more fun with every thing else.
