Little G handed me a card this morning and said, "Mom, please send this to the Easter Bunny. It's late, but I still need to send it." I agreed. The card is hilarious, and says the following:
Happy Easter Card! Made 5/27. Ready, set, go, AND READ!
From: G. To: Easter B.
Dear Easter Bunny,
I am gonna point some things on this card. 3 is that Meow Meow Day Care picture. [He makes daycares and schools for cats all the time.] Thank you very much for the Reese's peanut butter eggs and Dewey [his new cat] and dresses [for Dewey] and the jelly beans. They were so good that I could explode! Yum yum in my tum tum. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I love singing a little song I made up all by myself. It is a sign of yumminess.
Love you a lot and enjoy your card.
Love,
G

Our Weekend
We have little room to complain about this year's winter weather here in the Midwest. We've barely had any snow to speak of, and as someone who loathes the white stuff, I couldn't be a bigger fan of the 2011-2012 winter season thus far. On days when we do get snow, it's actually nice to cuddle up with a warm drink and do a little reading while mother nature does what she will.
Our Saturday was spent studying. My history girl spent several hours learning about religions and cultures from around the world, including some interesting YouTube videos we found. Little G spent most of his time working on math, of course. Today we will be doing some hooping PE so Reezle can practice her halos, her favorite hoop trick.
Both of the kids are excitedly anticipating Groundhog Day, which is coming right up on February 2. Will Punxutawney Phil see his shadow this year? The kids are hoping he won't, since they both want an early spring. I guess we will find out on Thursday!

100th Day of Homeschool
As of today, Reezle has 567 hours and 20 minutes of attendance hours logged, and 100 days of school. Little G, officially a Kindergarten student, but taking three first grade courses, has 378 hours and 45 minutes of attendance hours logged, and 100 days of school. This means we're more than half way through the school year...and we still love it, and it's still going great! Whew.
In preschool and public school, there was always a special celebration for the 100th day of school. I didn't realize it had come up so quickly, or I would have planned something. It might be a bit tricky, since ice cream sundaes are out due to the blood sugar issue, but I'm sure we can find a way to celebrate all of their hard work. They both deserve a celebration, both of them have been the best students.
Little G had a special milestone of his very own today: he completed first grade phonics! He's little more than half way through his Kindergarten year and he is all done with first grade phonics. I am so proud of him! His spelling, as well as his mastery of grammar concepts and language in general is impressive. He was an early reader, but I didn't expect him to be tutoring his older sister with spelling homework when he was in preschool (he did, for real). His progression seems steady, rather than just an early starter who settles into average. I don't expect him to keep this pace (then again, maybe he can tutor me when I take that logic and philosophy college course I need...ha!), but he has my full support to move at his own pace.
Oh, uh...and he's teaching himself cursive.

Birthdays
For their birthdays, the kids had a choice: big birthday parties with all the trimmings, or a new computer to share and a modest celebration at home with pizza and homemade cake.
I think they made the right choice. This should also make school go more smoothly, since they no longer have to share a computer. Not that it was a big issue at all, but this will be great incentive to get them to complete their Study Island requirements!
Happy Birthday, homeschoolers!
