I am catching up a bit. On January 2nd, John had the day off work and I went to town painting the basement. We are moving right along on that project and it was just the right timing to get that job done. Daddy taking over the schooling means they get to skip language. That’s because Daddy’s eyes gloss over when you say things like, “Predicate nominative,” and “Object of a preposition,” and “Relative clause phrases.” So instead, he has time left over to do the “Optional,” boxes in our history curriculum which included staging Washington’s retreat from Cornwallis at Trenton.
Hermie was Cornwallis.
Wormie was Washington
And the rest of the animals got roles as Patriots, Red Coats, and Hessians.
And I am sure the kids will remember more about the Battle of Trenton than I ever did.

Can't wait to see the basement finished. Yay!! That would be so fun & exciting. Our lesson today was on predicate nominatives:) I found that word to be such a tongue twister…and could not wait for the lesson to be over. I'm pretty sure the boys agreed.Yay for Dad doing the history lesson! Did you know that Washington's headquarters is 10 min. from us?!
