Son has started an art program, Draw Today from Sonlight.

He LOVES to draw.  He came out of the womb sucking his thumb and drawing with the other hand.

This is his first full art project.  He had a few little ones.

He could spent hours like this.

We recently went on a field trip to a few places, Albuquerque and Santa Fe.  I blogged about it here, here and here.

Here we are at the Natural Museum of Science in Albq.

You can see that our home schooling has paid off! 

Son's third drawing.  (More like erasing.)

It's Beethoven.  He looked more abstract before some touch ups.

Today I caught up (almost) on grades, credits, transcripts and all of that fun stuff.

Home schooling can't be good for trees.

I can't tell you how many copies I make in a school year.

Today I copied a weeks worth of SOTW tests plus more.

Thankfully dinner is in the crock pot. 
Unfortunately, the cabbage and onions are not pleasing to the nose.

Man, I have been so busy to even blog about our HS adventures! Sorry! We started back to school last Mon. Things have been going pretty smooth! Yeah! We are reading *So Far From Home* from the Dear America series. DS & I are reading *The Trumpet of the Swan*(DD loves to listen along). I am slowly easing into CM. We have started studying Mary Cassatt. Next week I think I'll bring in poetry.

This morning DS wanted to skip ahead a few pages, in math, to the test. Okay sure, if you think you're ready. He did the first half. The second half totally stumped him. He knows how to do it. He just thinks too much and then forgets everything. Long story short. We closed our books. I took a shower then we went for a bike ride. DD does NOT like bike riding at all. So we cut my regular route a bit short. Poor thing has NO fat to burn, but muscles that need to be built. DS has been riding with DH on much harder rides then mine, so he was wanting to go longer. Again our DC are so different. We are on lunch break and will go back to Lang. Arts and Mary Cassatt after.
