A Few Updates

School continues. We did fall into one of our bad habits this morning. The children wanted to do all the reading in the bed. So, I got back into my bed and they snuggled around me and we read History, Bible and each of the children's books. It felt good and they still could narrate so I suppose it wasn't such a terrible thing.

The refrigerator and ice maker are repaired. The parts arrived yesterday afternoon at two and the repairman was at my house at 2:30. Breakfast was so much easier to prepare since I didn't have to walk to the shed for all the ingredients. My husband wants to choose the new television so we will wait until he researches all the possibilities.

I really am going to do the shoe meme. In fact, you should see it today! I need to hurry because I think ZILLA is back online.

Make it snappy, woman! Zilla is waiting for the shoe meme!

Everyone should conduct school from a warm, snuggly place. There is nothing more fabulous than reading in bed, except maybe doing the NYTimes crossword in bed. But nobody ever learned nothin' doin' a crossword, so don't try this at home ;-)

Shhh...we do almost all of our reading aloud in my bed; very nice for after lunch and at bedtime (theirs, not mine). In fact, my eldest call it "bed schooling" lol.

We read every night in bed, as well. It is a funny process. Here is an example. I go first to Princess's bed. I read a chapter in her read aloud book. The Pink Panther cannot stand to think he is missing any story so he slinks to the bottom of Princess's bed. After I finish her story, I go to the Pink Panther's room to read his chapter. Princess sneaks into his bed so she won't miss anything.

I thought of only reading one book at night, but neither wants to give up his special time even if the other is sneaking in to share.
