It isn't always fun and games in the woods, we do make the kids get their homework done too. Most evenings the counters are filled with the normal barrage of slips to be signed and upcoming projects that need to be worked on. Fortunately to our knowledge all of the projects thus far have had at least 48 hours of parental notice rather than the parental fear of eight thirty on a Sunday night..."I have a project due tomorrow" conversation. Ella and Sophia found Pintrest and it has changed their lives. The weather has again been so warm for early November that this melted crayon project could be done outside. Hot glue guns and hair dryers, extension cords and blown breakers but in the end they had some new art work to hang in their rooms. The election season caught the kids it is circus-like atmosphere watching the debates and discussion the daily happenings at the dinner table. On election night we headed to a burger bar to watch the election night returns. It was a late night for a school night and we didnt stay until it was officially called but it was still a great experience to have them so interested in the process as well as decent discussions on the varying policies held by each candidate.
