Primary

Here is where Holden, Matthew, and Anders go on Sunday.  

Doesn't Anders looked pleased to be here?

Notice all the little girls in Matthew's class?  That's right, there aren't any.   Boys, boys everywhere.

And then there is Holden.  At least he enjoys primary.

History Class

One of the classes I teach at the home school co-op is an Ancient History class.  The kids read a chapter at home.  Then, in class we discuss the chapter, do map work related to the area, and complete a craft project related to the chapter.  Here are the cute kids.

This week we talked about the Egyptian Pharaoh who was actually a woman.  She would dress like a man and even wore fake beards.  We made fake beards.  The only problem was that I left my appropriate colored tissue paper at home.  A mom who lived close ran home to get some for me.  Of course she only had green and red, so we made Christmasy beards.  The kids didn't seem to mind.

Video Games

This is how our boys would like to spend all day everyday.

At first this touching photo appears to be three brothers cuddled up to read. But upon closer examination, you will note that Nicholas has a DS and Matthew is holding up a book to block it, while he and Holden watch.

See, I told you.
