Awesome moment:
We are home sick today with our cousin, Malcolm who is also sick. It has been a challenge keeping the kids in resting mode. We have only watched one Magic Schoolbus video and one educational TV show. The big kids also did a lesson apiece in Math and Reading. I got Malcolm's work off this website www.learningpage.com it is an awesome resource, once you sign up for membership (free). I spent most of the AM cleaning while the kids amused themselves.
We just finished our lunch (leftover Vennie Veggie soup - yum!) and now the kids are listening to and acting out a jug band version of Peter and the Wolf. It is great, Malcolm is assigning parts scene by scene, Joss is acting and dancing with gusto. Zeff sits to the side in his wolf hat, lauging at the big kids and awaiting his one part - the wolf! Ooooh, now it is Zeff's part, they are so funny! The big kids are the bird and cat who are up a tree (the couch) and he is circling below them. Oooh now they are hunters, this is awesome!
Well, I actually feel decent now, thanks to one tylenol 3, 32 oz of mothers milk tea and three hilarious kids. Oh yeah, and the napping baby is nice too.
