Big Brother pretending to be the blood pumping through the “human heart” he made two weeks ago while we were learning about muscles.
I will say, last week was what I will call a highly productive summer homeschool week. This week we are busy with social activities and keeping me sane while Dad is out of town so things like copywork will get thrown to the side. For the summer I have some busy social weeks planned and also weeks we block for “vacation” at home with few other commitments to enjoy some lazy summer experiences or for mom to do some projects like organizing our homeschool shelves or installing a backsplash in the kitchen.
