Also, now that I'm done with that spot, the bees can move back in!

They can throw wild parties all night long and I won't care. I don't intend to ever take on this sort of project ever again, so they can move back whenever they like.

Ana was doing her school homework with me on Tuesday.

Simple, basic "add up the numbers and divide to get the average" stuff. (And let me just say that I cannot stand word problems that are just there to say they have a word problem. "Susie has 5427 books. What number is in the tens place?" For crying out loud, that's not a word problem! There's no need for a framing sentence, because nobody cares!)

But I digress. She did one problem that was 6, 14, and 10. After working it out she turned to me and said, excited and amazed, that you can take the 4 from 14 to make 10, and add it on to the 6 to make 10, and it will still work!!!

She was so enthusiastic about this idea that she spent a good five minutes breaking it down to me.

Evangeline is still doing double digit subtraction. Fun! In her extra math book she's working with money, which is slightly more fun, especially as her sister is doing decimals and she gets to be "just the same".
