After only 3 hours of sleep last night, I had the most productive day I've had in probably 6 months. Maybe I should deprive myself of sleep on a more regular basis!
We had orthodontist appointments this morning, stopped at Dollar Tree to pick up a magnifying glass and some chocolate bars, and then came home to do our first science experiment from Apologia's Elementary Astronomy. The kids really loved that one! I think they just thought it was great to eat melted chocolate though!
After our science experiment we had lunch, while I read about the sun. I really enjoy this science curriculum. Then we sat down to do "real school" which always brings out the best in my kids LOL. Everyone got their standard work done, including Latin for the first time in a while. We're having to review Latina Christiana a little more than I'd like, but I'd rather review and retain than lose all that work altogether!
Blue and Pink sat down with me while I read a few of the Story of the World recommended books and then went off to read their individual versions of Don Quixote. Maybe I should skip reading the real version and read the Wishbone Classic version Mister Blue is reading.
Then Mister Blue and I cleaned up the kitchen, while Miss Pink cleaned up the kids room. Miss Green walked the dog and Miss Purple entertained the baby, while I cooked supper. DH came home to a clean (as it can be with 5 kids) kitchen and supper ready to put on the table. What a shock! I just hope he doesn't get too used to it.
