We've taken up the knitting bug around here. Caitrin is working so hard. it's fun to watch her hands gain mastery over the needles, stitches etc. I chose large needles and bulky yarn so my scarf is growing really quickly. (Just finished in fact) She's working with thin yarn and narrow needles so her project is going slower. Not a problem really.
We watched "Bride and Prejudice" which turned out to be an awful movie - campy, strange musical numbers that didn't fit with the genre of the movie or the story, bad acting on the part of the "American" guy, bad acting on the part of the "Elizabeth" character... What was disappointing especially is that we loved "Bend if Like Beckham" and this movie had none of the naturalness or charm of that one.
We're about to read Eragon again. Caitrin did some reading work on street signs (still resists reading from books). Jacob worked on math, science, reading (He's still finishing the Sherlock Holmes series and read Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None at the same time) and Story of the World history. He's got a strong discipline going. Nice to see.
Liam and I worked on borrowing and carrying yesterday. He is finally encountering problems he can't do in his head. But he insists on doing them in his head to double check the answers. Smart boy. Caitrin hit carrying in her Miquon book so it was a great time teaching this to both of them.
