Wacky Wednesday...

Sometimes for school I announce "It's Wacky Wednesday today"...and we do some things that we normally would not consider our "school time" (or at least the kids don't know it's part of school..shhh).  So today it was Wacky Wednesday.  

My son was putting together a new game he received as a Christmas Gift - Mouse Trap. However you have to "put it together' yourself. It requires reading the directions, putting pieces together, setting up and explaining the game to others all of which he did without 1 time needing my direction!   We played for about 45 mins (he won of course...) then we had some "traditional" school work to do....they loved it and announced "You are the best mom in the world..." (well if that is all it takes to win that award, I will be winning it more often...lol...)





Here is what Sammie was doing.....


Then we finished up our Spring unit with a cute story from Highlights...

Thought it was appropriate for our weather last week...lol



Zachary read out loud to us these two cute books.

He loves him some "Magic Tree House" books....lol.

Gearing up to link up tomorrow to The Homeschool Village - Gardening Challenge!
