Willing and unwilling participants

Lest my dear readers become misled by all the happy shining faces in this post and this post about our school days, know that it isn't all harmony and rainbows here.


Last week Jeddy roped his sisters into reciting his skip-counting with him.


They were pleased to do this.




He also roped one sister into posing with his authentic French-and-Indian-War-era weapon replicas:  a bow and arrow and a crossbow, made with sticks, cardboard, masking tape, rubber bands and paper clips.


Not quite as pleased with this.




Ada got to cook again for kindergarten--granola this time.  Lizzy desperately wants to be given a turn at measuring.  





Caleb fills the role of voiceless observer.




Pinkies up!


Today we discovered that for a short time, Caleb used crayons appropriately, without eating them, so I set him up to color with Lizzy.  She was most distrustful of Jeddy's interference.






Brother eats crayons
Don't shoot your sister with that
School as we know it

(Original haiku by Mindy)

  2. I laughed and laughed at Ada's face as Jed demonstrated his French-and-Indian-War-era weapon replica, also Lizzie's distrustful face, and I admired Ada's intense concentration while measuring. Caleb made a great silent observer. Why didn't I get to cook in elementary school?!
