JeneralMom Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My children are running around in the mud and rain having a grand time, while I sit inside contemplating the amount of laundry they are currently creating. We're going to start lessons a little later this morning because I am happy they are having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 No photo, but my child is in the kitchen right now searching for a snack and singing at the top of her lungs. This is our first day "back to school" after a 2-week roadtrip. It looks like it's going to be a looooonnnggg day with lots of reminders to refocus.....

swellmomma Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Let's see, dd10 is finishing her turn on the Wii, dd2 is waiting for said turn to be done so she can watch her dora movie. ds11 is getting dressed to head outside to play, and ds6 is waiting for me to finish with the computer so he can have a turn. We have a field trip today so I am not doing lessons with them this morning. I am going to spend the next 2 hours cleaning the house while they rotate between electronic toys and outside before we leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Here is what my kids are doing: DD9 is taking timed multiplication quizzes to improve speed. Ds13 is reading up on the electoral college to write a paper for Statesmanship club. Ds16 is in his Latin class (actually, online with headphones listening to the teacher while he types his responses.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally we start at 10am, but today I got a short backrub in exchange for starting late. His idea and on Monday mornings I'm a softie, plus I needed a kink worked out in my shoulder.

FaithManor Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 DS#1 is prowling the kitchen for a snack in an attempt to put off his last assignment, pre-algebra. I don't know why the procrastination, (although I have come to the conclusion that 13 year old boys are the definition of the word) he's good at it and gets it done in a reasonable time period. DS#2 wanted to do his Wii fit routine but hadn't started his new reading assignment - the abridged edition of "Man in the Iron Mask". I know, I know...not supposed to do abridged. But, it wasn't high on my list of classical books to read unabridged and this copy fell into my hands. He was supposed to read one chapter. He must be completely engrossed because he's been at my feet reading for over 30 minutes! DS#3 just begged to write paragraphs and short-stories instead of doing his lesson on possessive pronouns. Who can resist pleas of any child willing to write? I'm a softy and gave in. DH is sitting next to me at his laptop - working from home - He wants you all to know that he is astounded at the number of topics we manage to chat about in a single hour! He insists this a woman thing! Faith (having fun on the board instead of attacking Mount Laundry and cleaning the bathroom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is a fun thread! Dd9 was sick Friday & Saturday and recouperating Sunday. She feels she is still "sick" and needed a sick day from school. I agreed, on the terms that she naps today as she didn't get much sleep for two nights. She is currently playing Super Mario Bros. on the Wii. I'd take a picture but she is frightful looking :lol: Dd15 is upstairs listening to her Bible for MFW AH&L while cutting out a skirt pattern for her co-op class next Monday.

lakotajm Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 DD5 and 6 are on the front porch making cool things out of "junk" (recyclables). There was some talk of a purple elephant. They also have the electonic keyboard out there, playing Jingle Bells. dd13 just finished dictation and spelling, joined her sisters for a moment, then just asked me where the rake is(?) Next she gets a turn at the computer to try to download some songs from iTunes-an exercise in frustration, seeing as how we have dial-up.
