Week 7 in Review 10/17-21

Household Highlights
We had to put plastic over a few windows. Fall is here and the night frosts are upon us. 
This gives us more incentive to get lessons done so we can enjoy the sunny afternoons before they are gone. 

Homeschool Happenings
We traveled into Central America this week in Geography. Learning the basics of Botany, and the life of Nephi in the Book of Mormon. In History we are about to embark on a Revolution. Jacob is learning about the early theories of our Solar System. Abigail is working in a crochet project for Zachary's birthday on Sunday. 


On our Book shelf
Abigail and Isaac are still absorbed in the 
Lemony Snicket Series of Unfortunate Events books.
Quinten is reading Same Kind of Different As Me
Jacob has discovered the Hardy Boys series. 

Adventures 

We joined a new scout troop last week. The boys are very excited. 
Its a little larger than we had been involved in and I think 
this will allow them more opportunities. 
Abigail is also active in Activity Day Girls again. 

Helpful Homeschool Hint 
Lesson Planners. I print one each with a list of assignments for the week.  

My Favorite Thing
This garden bag was in a box of donated stuff. I LOVE bags but 
had no idea what to do with this one.  Then I had an idea!
PERFECT!! The inside has pockets for pencils, glue, note cards etc

Whats Working Not Working
Our grammar was not working for us at all. I found a textbook for 
Abigail and Isaac and will be ordering a new book for Jacob and Quinten.

Presidential Choice's

So for Civics this week we watched the TWO HOUR LONG debates.. anyhow, as their assignment Quinten and Jacob had to list their top two picks and why they would choose them.. I decided to type of Isaac's ( he did his as extra credit as he is not taking civics). ( I typed this exactly as he as written it) 
My first choice for Presidentuall Canadete is Ron Paul. I chose Ron Paul because he say, we, and nowone else dose. Becase wene he talk's he say's the word's that I would say. My secend choice for presidentuall canadete is Gingrich. I chose gingrich for second because he says he don't know who he should say because he loves evry one up next to him. and because of his laugh. My third choice for  presidentuall canadete is Jonson. I chose Jonson as third because he makes me laugh. and because his look. My fourth choice for  presidentuall canadete is herman. i chose herman as fourth because his look and because he says the words i would say too.

The Texas Ranger: its outlaw kicking time!!

Summer-shade, Texas the worst place to be in the summer, where everyone is at the saloon, playing poker, drinking alcohol & most of all FIGHTING!!, we had the sheriff in there five times in 1 hour , but that’s just how it is. One Monday morning we had 4 guys on duty (as usual), on duty where the Texas Ranger, Johnny, Jessie & hunter where on duty, when suddenly they were being shot at by some outlaws, escape jailers & gang members teamed up to face the four of them. the four of them where out-numbered 30-4,they knew they cold take them all down so the Texas ranger shot first then it went on for about 5 minuets the rest of the town heard the gun shots, so they hid all the women & children and the men climbed the wall and stood in a line of forty men plus the 4 on duty so now it was 44-35, as they came closer they counted, the knew they where out-numbered by 24 men but that wasn't going to stop them from going closer, so they kept going closer & closer & closer the 44 men cocked their guns then the Texas ranger said "on the count of three we fire 1-2-3!!" BOOM!!, they all fired at once, when the smoke cleared there was only 2 men left, they both ran back as fast as there horses could take them, hunter took his gun and shot them both in the back at a mile away, the LUCKIEST!! shot anyone has made before. the Mayer had just woke up right after the exitment, he was so impressed with them that he bought everyone a drink for there good work, and they where never bothered by any outlaws, escape jailers or gang members ever again.......or will they!!........
