Monday
Tommy woke up early and made chocolate chip cookies. All by himself.
Schoolwork. Started a cursive workbook by Handwriting Without Tears. Spent fifteen minutes practicing cursive on the white board (by their own choice!)

Played in a tree and set up a house. I am amazed at how well they get along when they are working together on a project.
Tuesday
Schoolwork.
Practiced times tables while they worked on their tree house.
Played at a friend's house down the street for a few hours.
Watched several YouTube videos about carnivorous snails and color changing octopuses. This led to several other videos about cephalopod mollusks and how gills work.
Finished reading our Benjamin Franklin book and started a biography about Thomas Edison.

Wednesday
Origami.
Origami.
Schoolwork. But only a little bit since they both chose to do the bulk of it earlier in the week. Works for me.
Monster truck videos on YouTube.
Piano lessons.
Lunch at Erik's Deli.
Playground.
Library.
Tommy found books about monster trucks, Lego building, Karate, and bridges. Ben found a Lego StarWars book. This sums up their personalities pretty well.
Sent a myth idea off to Mythbusters and Tommy learned how to draft an email.

Thursday
Watched Mythbusters in the way-too-early morning. Learned about viscosity, newtonian fluids, and other things.
Tommy made meringue cookies. Realized his recipe doesn't work out well, so we looked up a new one. Watched a video about how to make French meringues.
Legos.
Lunch while I read a biography about Thomas Edison.
Tommy made paleo brownies. They turned out pretty well considering they contained no flour and almost no sugar.
Playground.
More monster truck videos.

Monster truck videos on YouTube. More Mythbusters.
Park day with homeschool friends. Tommy used several jump ropes tied together to make a "pulley" to hoist children up a swing set. I'm sure they learned a lot about physics (but since I know almost nothing about physics, I'm not sure what that would be!)
