WE finally bought our tree today... and decorated it as well. It smells so nice in here, and it looks s pretty. Took lots of pics of the kids decorating it.
Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, as well as the kids'. I just have to wrap all their presents and put them under the tree for the complete look :).
As far as homeschooling goes, we are getting some stuff done...not as much as i;d like but not as little as I thought. J's reading has improved a lot in the last 2 weeks or so, she is reading more fluently, she has been reading her Bob books as well as some others. Doing math and some Science ( lots of reading about animals and using the computer for research), F is now working on decimals and percentages.
We put out bread on the window sill for the variety of birds we have in the back of our building, so yesterday while we were at the kitchen table having a discussion, J suddenly yelled that there was a squirrel on the window screen in her room. So we rushed in to find a squirrel on the screen, eating the bread I'd just put out. It was crawling on the screen and trying to find a way down... I took a few pics and then it jumped onto some cables and ran down... now that's city wild life for you.
F has an interest in other planets and read about a finding by some scientists of another planet similar to Earth but much much bigger about 40 light years from our solar system. We thought that was really interesting and will be keeping up with the discovery.
