Flying Buttresses, Math, and Fun.

Today was a great day. We started a bit late because of our adventurous Super Bowl night last night.
We did our bookwork and really enjoyed hearing about Moses getting to go up on the mountain to be with God. Amazing!
We also did flash card work and memory work. The kids watched a few shows on the science channel. One was about a dig in Argentina , which led to a conversation on the different periods in prehistory including Jurassic Period. We also talked about where Argentina was located etc.
The kids also enjoyed watching two shows about Medieval Weapons and Medieval Technology. (We are in the Middle Ages in our History) The Weapons show had scientists reconstructing jousting matches with "dummies" to show the impact and injuries sustained by the knights. The show on Technology show how the Arabs brought instruments into Spain. It also covered the many Cathedrals that were built and explained what an innovation Flying Buttresses were. Below you will see a picture of the kids being a system of Buttresses.

I have a few picture I wanted to post.. here you go:




We were so excited when our UPS man delivered out math books! The kids cant wait to start.


Today the kids watched the Science Channel, one show about Medieval Weapons, and another about Medieval Technology. Here they are demonstrating what a Flying Buttress would look like if they were a Medieval Cathedral.



This Goldie, our goldfish.. He is getting too big so we are hoping to find a friend with a larger tank for him. :)

Here are the kids looking at our new fish. (We have two fish tanks) The were REALLY excited.


Here are the newest additions. I was quite impressed with how well they posed for the picture. :)

Thats all for now.. I have artwork and a laundry room calling my name :)
