We are in full swing for the new school year. I almost forget that everybody else is still on Summer break until next week. We did a big unit on Great Britain to gear up for our big unit on the Olympics. Well, you can't have a unit on Great Britain without a British tea party! So, I planned the menu and the girls planned the attire. They wanted to dress up and they forced Micah into the hat. It worked out and everybody had fun (and looked cute).
We had scones with jam and butter, cucumber sandwiches, fruit, and a couple of choices of tea. They tried everything and enjoyed the tea, but decided they liked iced tea better. I have to agree, although I do like it better in the winter.
Watching the Olympics has been interesting. They have really looked forward to it this year and learned about the different sports. I'm glad to get to share this with them and I think I've been more excited this year than I have in a long time. It is fun to see things through a child's eye and route for your team. We do not pay for television and don't get good reception with our indoor antenna, so we now have a cord stringing down our hallway to our bedroom for the antenna as it picks up better in that room. So, for the next 2 weeks, we may be tripping over a cord, but we will be enjoying the sports together.
