This post is a tad late. It seems that I came down with the boys' crud, so posting on time wasn't top of my priority list. I'm trying my hardest to keep my germs contained to me so not to spread the crud around another lap of the house. Fingers crossed.

We have made great progress on the boys' mission projects. All they have left is to now memorize their speeches. My kitchen wall is currently wallpapered with mission info in an effort to help them learn. Whew.
At least the end is in sight! Yay!

Jack's project was also a success. He had to invent something and complete a little packet about his invention. He based his invention off of a real life problem -- a spider on our ceiling -- and created the "Itsy Bitsy Spider Catcher." He put tape at the end of a pencil for his "catcher." It was freaking adorable. His teacher even said his presentation was great. She had him share it several times with different people around the school!

This gem was from this afternoon:
“Mom. This state...Our wonderful state of California...it is here that the fortune cookie was invented. Did you know that?!” I did not, in fact, know that.
Then he proceeded to slow cap for the state. Because of course.
There you go. Now you have another useless fact to to store for the next game of Trivia Pursuit.

5 weeks of school left! Woo to the double who!
