So, this week was the Boston Tea Party. According to Miette, "In 1773 Colonists dressed as Mohawks 'humpty dumpty' (dumped tea) from the British East India company into the Boston Harbor." She is hilarious in her memorization attempts. We also dissected a chicken wing which was really fascinating...to me at least. Kaiden thought it was disgusting and Miette couldn't care less. I felt very homeschool momish though. Not sure I will be cooking chicken wings any time soon. Oh wait, I have never cooked chicken wings before.
Just a quick note to anyone reading this who is doing CC - I am making a timeline that has all 166 of the events from the Veritas Press cards and most of them will be the same picture as the cards. I am using this blank timeline as my base and then adding what looks like miniatures of the VP cards. You could also fill in with any other events that you might be studying. I threw this in just to say if you are interested in this I would be more than happy to email you a PDF of the cards.
My mom went to Ikea yesterday and I asked her to pick me up a couple things for my school room. I think the room is just about together now. Just need to put our timeline up and alphabet flashcards. I also have dreams of this print - I already have the frame I just need to order the print. Maybe next month. Seriously, I need a constant reminder to Keep Calm and Carry On.
So this morning I walk in the kitchen and find this -
Yes, she had helped herself to the new container of strawberries. How could one resist red, juicy strawberries just sitting there for the taking?
Elinor enjoyed several as well....
Love this mischievous face
A couple pictures of the new deck....
Miette's latest thing is carting Ellis and Elinor around. Ellis is her baby and this game provides hours of entertainment.
