stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.

y'all.  today has been a Day.

that's right, capital D.

but.  we managed to do school...on the computer, at least.  worksheets are on hold for a smidge.  honestly, we could go the rest of the summer without doing another worksheet and that would be fine with me.  we'd be taking a worksheet summer vacation.  i honestly don't care.  we are doing good to be doing "computer" school.

with the kinds of days we've been having.

we've had fevers and birthdays and a child who may or may not have strep throat.  oh yeah.  i said it.  i'm SERIOUSLY hoping that's not the case.  but if he isn't better by tomorrow, we're headed to the doctor (a place dreaded by all).

but victories.  we've had them.

flash cards are still a win!  xander recognized two, count 'em, TWO new letters today: Q and A.  i'm super proud.  and he's still kickin' rear and taking names with sight words.  bella, too.  it's like they can't be stopped.  it's freaking me out a little.

anyway.  that's pretty much the extent of it.  today we learned that thomas jefferson was a pretty radical guy.  he invented macaroni AND brought vanilla ice cream to the united states.  can i send him a christmas card?  we also learned that no human has ever been attacked by a healthy wolf in north america.  EVER, people.  that seriously (no irony here) eases my mind.  i feel safer walking by myself down the driveway (a practice i really should pick back up, since i have this new peace of mind).

also, we registered for everest again for next year.  funny how i don't legally have to register xander until next year, since he just turned six yesterday.  

anyway.   summary.  sight words = good.  worksheets = bad.  grade books = i have no idea what you're talking about.  driveway = safe.  everest = registered.  sanity = questionable.
