A: Belle is so well trained! I was thinking I wanted her to lay down and she did it without me even telling her!

I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm really sure that had more to do with "old and fat" vs. "psychically well-trained"

Classical Conversations is already paying off - the girls answered their first Jeopardy question tonight! (Columbus' three ships in 1492)

W got sent to bed early for continuing to ask for an orange smoothie after I said no. I asked her if she wanted to pray. "Yes. Dear God, thank you for a great day, and I'm sorry that mama wouldn't let me have an orange smoothie. In Jesus' name amen."

A's creation...it's a frame of the sky that's walking...

The girls are "playing" Classical Conversations. A is the tutor (big shock there) and is teaching W her memory work - accurately!

At Trackers today, they ate the fish they caught last week. When W and I came to pick A up, she ran up and excitedly handed me a whole 3" fish to eat. I was a little taken aback at how to eat it. W simply picked hers up and chomped the head right off...

Girls are at CrossFit. Carol is laying out the workout and draws a chalk smiley face on the floor where they take a rest. W says, "no, let's do a sad face instead."

I just tried to teach W Philippians 2:14 "Do everything without complaining or arguing".

She complained about it and argued that she wants to learn a different one. Sigh.

Day one of tutoring Classical Conversations Abecedarians! These kids are so much fun, and I'm very proud of how my little kindergartener is doing with school so far!

A caught her first fish today at Trackers...then her second-fifth fish as well!

W, singing: I know you, I walked with you once upon a cheese. I know cheese the gleam in your eye is so familiar a cheese...

Me: Uh, are you singing a love song to cheese?

W: Yeah! I reaaaallllly looooovvveee cheese!

A: Mama, I'm having a glorious time on this seesaw!

W is singing a song she made up, "every dog has to poop sometimes...."

W, gasping, "Mama, somebody tooked some pieces of the moon and made it into a crescent! I should tell them that moon pieces are part of the moon and are. not. gifts!"
