Family Scripture Study: 1 Nephi 13 (1/2 the chapter), lots of great discussion
Weekly Family Scripture Memorization: 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Mom School
Pray/Pledge/Motto
Music: I Know My Savior Loves Me, How Firm a Foundation, We'll Bring the World His Truth and the Valiant Song. We also worked on a rhythm poem.
Character: We read two articles from The Friend about friendship.
Fantasy: We read 5 chapters from Tom Trueheart and the Land of Dark Stories by Ian Beck.
Science: We attended a 4-H Livestock judging clinic that lasted 5 hours. What a joy! The kids all really enjoyed it though and they learned more about horses, beef, swine, sheep and goats. I went with them to each class and did learn a thing or two myself. I managed to read 1/2 of a book so it wasn't a total waste of time for myself.
Library visit
Music store visit: It's a shame that I have to keep going to the music store to buy more piano books because they keep tearing through the ones they have.

Busy, busy! We loved Brisinger, except it was a little gory at times. We do a lot of books on tape/CD too for Chris. Boys just seem to do better listening some times.
Boys do seem to do better with audio books, well my boys do. I think it helps that their dad plows through audio books. He can drive as many as 8 hours in a day and so he likes to utilize his time to the fullest.
I think this is the third time that they have listened to Brisinger. It's a fun series.
