Aaron concentrating hard during his lesson with his chess coach

Aaron also got his Chess rating up higher than ever before

Aaron is learning the very beginning of how to crochet

Alexander and the giant apple

Alexander is starting to be able to use the mouse a little bit by himself.
He likes doing Ready for Math with Pooh.

Alexander really likes to help clean if he gets to shoot the spray gun

Andrew watching his first drawing video lesson and trying to draw a cat

I really like his cat and ball of yarn

Andrew doing his new math program.
He really likes it. Especially, that right in the textbook it says things like,
"You're doing great! Keep going!"
I think Aaron finds those additions just a waste of reading time.

Boys built a chair castle.
Andrew was the king and Alexander was the queen.

Awwwww

Boys helping to deep clean before our big trip

Even when reading novels you should do things
like roll back and forth on a balance ball.

Enjoying the good weather

Can you spot the blond boys.

Playing Chinese chess

Merry go round

We will miss some of the food here.
Like this gigantic bag of sweet mandarin oranges for $2.25

Or this bag of key limes for $0.50

Starting to pack to get ready to go.
Everyone is excited to see you!
