Well, we all overslept. The girls overslept because they stayed up late. *I* overslept because Ana snuck into my room in the middle of the night and stole my phone, aka "my alarm clock".
Still, despite having a 2 hour delayed start, I think we did pretty well. My goal is to add a subject a week. Last week we did math and current events, and we continued that this week while adding in world history. Got started with a bang, the big bang, we went to the park and drew a huge timeline with 12 billion years ago waaaaaaay back there and all of human history crammed in waaaaaay at the other end.
So they really grasped the point there, and then we spent a pleasant half hour making chalk drawings on the ground. NOT what I planned, but, uh, it's art. Which they wanted to do and I wasn't even sure how we were going to do it anyway. So win! Eva drew a girl with a head remarkably like an onion, but that was a coincidence.
We were going to make dirt using oreos and chocolate pudding, but the pudding never set and I had to redo it, and anyway all the dirt recipes call for cream cheese, so we just ate the oreos and pudding and gummy worms separately after lunch. The recipe went over much better with the humans than Ana's yesterday recipe, tuna cupcakes. However, in her defense, the cats went wild for tuna cupcakes.
