Then he just started acting goofy

I thought I would snap a couple of photos real quick while the kidsd were working on their schoolwork. It occured to me that since they have been homeschooled, I don't have near the photos of them as I would have if they were in school. Sounds backward, doesn't it? When it warms up we'll do some trips and there will be more photos. Right now, they usually do one subject a day. They tend to work better like that, rather then separate each of the subjects out into daily assignments. I think they like knowing that they are finished with math for the week, once they do it. I can understand that. As long as they are learning, I don't think it matters much. I have noticed that they are getting that "learning how to learn" thing down. That is one of the things that homeschooling advocates talk about and how homeschoolers are taught that more than kids in public school. They are getting better about finding the answers to questions that they have. The computer is great for that. Andrew is a big George Lucas fan and can find out all kinds of info about him and some of his other heros like Theodore Roosevelt, and one of the other presidents whose name I cannot recall right now. Mike does a math game with them every night to help them memorize those multiplication facts. They run through the flashcards; then he turns it into a competition. The loser has to go through as many flashcards again, as what he lost by. Make sense?

Anyway, yesterday we went to the library for them to pick out their January books. They can read and earn free pizza from Pizza Hut, just like the Wichita Public School kids. I forgot to take the camera, so once again, no pictures.
