TGIF

Thank Goodness it's Friday!!
Is it that obvious that I love Fridays?
We made it through another week of studying hard and getting much accomplished. I feel really good about the progress we've made. Jaxon needed me to spend more time with him on grammar and math and I am, and it's going much better, and hey, I'm still alive and kicking! Was that a run on sentence? I don't know but I'll probably be learning any day now. :) I haven't been too excited about grammar, but now that we are diving in, it's pretty good curriculum and Jaxon is enjoying it.
Kimball is now Jaxon's official Latin tutor and that is going well too. The boys piano teacher is back from her long break and Kade is rip, roaring, ready to go! He loves playing and it's been a hard thing for him to have one piano lesson and then nothing for 8 weeks. His teacher had an emergency c-section the day after his first lesson, so he has been practicing the same stuff (plus a few songs Jaxon taught him) for a very long time. I am so impressed that he's kept a great attitude and through it all, managed to practice valiantly 15 minutes a day. Even if he was just playing around at times, I didn't care as long as he was playing. The weather has been a lot cooler in the morning, allowing us to do our reading aloud outside.
Kade's excited to read our History Encyclopedia for additional information on Ancient Egypt.
Jaxon is our joke maker, he helps us not take ourselves too seriously.
Sophia helps out by feeding our dog saltine crackers.

Now for the fun Friday part...park day with our home school group. We went to San Tan Village, a fun outdoor mall with a splash pad and play area.



There was a pretty good turn out and Jaxon really had fun playing with two new friends, so did Kade. I was totally shocked that Sophia got soaked in the fountains and ran around like a crazy woman. She's usually shy and reserved but I guess she needed a Friday too!
