Winter is in the Air and in School

Ah...back to our regularly scheduled programming...lol...we needed it, I needed it, they needed it! Not too many complaints or whines today.

I made a new rule, if you ask "when is school over" or "how much work do we have left" then I tack on 10 more mins of school work that day!

Zachary never ceases to amaze me on what he can put together with Legos, almost blindfolded..

Sammie loves those daubers, but what you did not see is about 10 mins

after this picture, she had the ink all over her face, arms and hands..she is

banned from them for a while.. 8(
