Weekly Wrap-up: Days 152-157 A Different Kind of Week

Maine's public-schooled kids were on April vacation this week, and although we don't follow public school vacations, it was a different kind of week for us. 

S REALLY Wanted a Bird

C had an eye doctor appointment on Monday and J had one on Thursday. And J needed glasses. He picked out 2 nice pairs and will get them sometime late next week or early the following.

How Did That Happen? Wrapped up in the Hammock!

S had "Astronaut Training" at OT on Tuesday and then we drove to LL Bean for some shopping. We picked out some snazzy new water bottles for our walks in the woods and got J a new mess kit for all the Boy Scout camping he does.

Our Snazzy New Water Bottles

J had a Red Cross Babysitting course at the Rec Center on Tuesday and Thursday. He learned about CPR, first aid and what a responsible babysitter does and doesn't do while caring for kids. I paid for this course in exchange for 30 hours of FREE babysitting! LOL

J Reading in the Hammock

J's friend T stayed overnight Tuesday and Wednesday. (They're the only boys taking the babysitting class.) They stayed up until 11:00pm watching History Channel's America: The Story of Us videos, studied for their course, played basketball and boardgames, and conquered Risk II on the computer.

J, S and J's Friend T playing Survive!

C had basketball day camp Thursday through Friday. She had a blast playing ball, hanging out with new and old friends, but did it tucker her out! She's ALREADY asking about NEXT year!

Foul Shot! (Missed the Focus Though!)

And inbetween classes, therapy, appointments, and camp, we did some learning activities!

• J played middle school Grammar games on the Teacher's Cafe, Apologia General Science Mod 14 Circulatory and Respiratory Systems, Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra Lesson 105-106, Jumpstart: Typing, Home Ec: Cooking, and Literature Study: Animal Farm

• C completed pages 75-76 in Handwriting Without Tears Cursive, Saxon 54 supplemental practice 76, Daily Grams Days 68-69, AAS Lesson 14 /er/, and Apologia Zoo III Ticks and Mites
