Just Catching up

I cant believe it's already November! So far, the fall here, this year, has been a lot more mild than it was last year. I remember freezing this time last year. It's still been pretty cool though. Pretty soon the Christmas markets will be opening up and I cant wait! At least this year, I should be able to go now that I can move around more than I was able to last year. hehe

It's late here and I should be getting to bed. I just wanted to take a minute and catch you all up on what we've been doing lately.

Mostly, just doing school. You can hear a resounding "Boring!" from the boys when that is mentioned. LOL This week, the boys are going bowling with the cub scouts on Thursday. They are having their annual Bowl-a-thon so they will be able to have some fun with some friends and try and knock down some pins somewhere in between.

School is going well, a few bumps in the road now and then but for the most part the boys are doing great and I'm really proud of them!

Studies:
Bible: we're finishing up learning about Joseph (Old Testament) and about to start a study on Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims for the obvious reasons
Language/Reading: Sean's been working on creative writing and writing letters (keep your eye out for emails from him now and then) and Ryan is doing great with his reading. He's very proud of what he's accomplished, I can tell. He's trying to read EVERYTHING now lol. (shh! I even caught him and Sean reading a book up in their room.... on their own!! gasp!)
Math: Sean is learning the dreaded fractions but they don't phase him at all. He's got it pretty much down! Ryan has been learning to count money and measure with a ruler - doing wonderful!
Science/History: This is what the boys call the "fun" part of the day. We are still learning about bugs. It's quite in depth and a lot of fun. History, we've just started learning about the first settlers in America, including the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving.

Well that's the quick run-down. I should probably head to bed, Elizabeth will be waking me up soon anyway, I'm sure.

Good night, stay warm!
