Christmas is OVER! YEAH! (oh, was that out loud?)



Tomorrow is New Years Eve & you know what that means right? 5 more days and.. as the boys would say... IT'S ON, LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!!
Whats on? oh, didn't you know.. the Home School opens for business.
Ok, technically we aren't home schooling, we have enrolled in something called Arizona Virtual Academy. AZVA is an online charter school. Since no one in the right mind would expect a 1st grader to actually do all their work online(unless they knew Mo), they have sent us 6 boxes of books, course work and misc. useful items of learning.
The boxes of "stuff" arrived today (like Christmas all over again ) and here is a run down of what we got.



Math stuff (NOTE! No mental math here, boys and girls, however, see those oh, so cute 3D shapes? Guess we have to learn about vertices :)


History: Included a "blow up globe" How cute is that?

Art: We got paint!!!! a couple books about artists, paint, a whole pack of art reproductions (see Starry Night there?) and paint!!! There were no Jackson Pollocks, but we will get by.

Science Kit: Way cool stuff, including scale, grass seed, beaker, thermometer, mirror, magnifing glass, styrofoam balls and

Saftey Goggles (uh, oh)
Language Arts: A whole pile of books, work books and Phonics kit!

Wish me luck, all!!!!
And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December -- and a variety of weather.
These pictures got over looked, because I got a new camera for Christmas & they were on the old camera. Hopefully I can place this post in the appropriate place, but if not -- you now know why.

Here is Charlie rolling in the snow.. if you don't know, Arizona kids are "snow stupid", they don't realize you will get cold if you lay in the snow!!!

Zane posing in front of a fabulously snow covered tree.

Frank & Max coming FAST done the hill.

Frank filled with snow -- was it the sledding run or those Maxwell kids??

Zane at Pima Air and Space... look at that hat -- it is his signature hat.

Christmas tree!!!! Yeah! It only fell over twice :)

Zane's favorite Christmas present, Lego Indiana Jones!

Max's favorite Christmas present, Molecule Kit (it's a box of styrofoam balls!!!!)

The Super Sonics (last game!!) Whew!
