We pulled out the kids’ globe for Matthew’s social studies homework. He had to identify locations based on longitude and latitude coordinates. Worked great for the big stuff. We had much harder time with the problems that were precise locations within California. If anyone knows of a good online resource for detailed state maps that include longitude and latitude lines, please let me know. :b
Matthew actually finished his homework early enough to have a little downtime before supper, so he and Kaylee watched some videos in her room.
Saying goodbye to August. This is command central for keeping our schedules organized – calendar for everyone’s appointments and events, bulletin board for the school lunch menu and ongoing school assignments and such, and Matthew’s karate school schedule taped to the cabinet. The schedule is still up there from last spring in the hope that he'll be able to start up again at some point, although he’s got so much homework right now that I don’t know how we’ll manage if/when that happens.
Kaylee doing her spelling homework. After sorting her assigned list into pattern categories, she had to come up with her own additional words that matched the patterns.
Shot of my desk in work mode. I spent a lot of the day putting together an ad for the ScrapDish storewide sale, and organizing files and creating new previews and detail shots for a couple of former collab products I decided to rerelease. I haven’t had the bug to design anything new in ages; I seem to only be able to think in scrap mode these days.
Kaylee took a picture of me with this little toy “camera”.
I knew I’d been feeling older lately…
:)
After taking a summer hiatus from walking, I’ve started taking a leisurely stroll after Matthew gets on his bus. This again is the pond at the park. Very peaceful and pretty in the morning light.
I hadn’t noticed this carving in the concrete under the little footbridge before. Makes me wonder who TJT is/are, and what they’re doing now, 35 years later. :)
