And with math you get lemonade...

Why is math fun today when up until now, it's been about as amusing as catching mice in my kitchen (ew... we got one last night, SNAP!).

Family Math is finally fun (even if my kids keep kicking my butt)!

Today we did number patterns on a 99 chart, Jacob and Noah both solved the Ten Card Arrangement (and all five of us did it differently... arrived at the right solution through completely different means - blows my mind) and we worked palindromes. Did you know 79 is a six-step palindrome?

We did a Bridge to Cross and I lost repeatedly to every kid... Did I mention every kid? Grrrr.

Noah is working on Greek in the kitchen and can barely sit still because we were having so much fun with numbers. Liam figured out the palindrome patterns on a 99 numbers chart all in his head.

Off to make lunch.

Oh and we read Eragon this morning (up to the end of chapter one).

Afternoon includes sax lessons and band practice for Jacob, Liam goes to Michael's to play X Box and Computer Games and we'll all go shopping for clothes and food.

Need to add that Caitrin is making bracelets out of hemp and beads and they are gorgeous! Hope to get a photo on here. She's a veritable machine these days—output about ten per day.

She's also watching Arthur, Postcards from Buster and the various sit coms she loves.
