Winter Break

Today and tomorrow are days reserved for Winter Break.

Translation: we will be lazy, watch TV until 10am, and eventually do a forced march outside. Fiwne will be our leader on the march. At some time I will feel guilty that the girls aren't learning something and will direct a reading lesson for each one. Larien is just learning the sounds of the letters. Inwe has been reading "Are you my mother?" with Phill. He's made flash cards of the words that challenge her. He left me with that assignment to do today. We'll see.

We may also label items in the house with words as a way to learn core words like door, sofa, refrigerator, floor, window. You know. Or maybe you don't, and you think that we have gone batty. Possible. Really possible this last month.

With the lice, the emergency room visit, and watching everything Finwe does so he doesn't have any reason to go to the doctor's for any accidental trauma, I am quite batty. And, there is no more chocolate dip with strawberries. Truly a loss.
