From Conor: Starting swimming lessons back up again was the highlight of this week. This was the first week of lessons at our community center only 3 blocks away. It is fun to be with my homeschool friends but it is like starting lessons all over again because I have taken higher level lessons before. My math class just ended (since we start marine biology next week) and mom is looking for a new one. I liked this math class because sometimes we got pretty silly, my friends did funny things, and my teacher taught me new things. I even liked doing the homework. On the weekend I went to the Science Center with dad. It was the last day of the Harry Potter exhibit so all the tickets were sold out. One of the things I always do there is go to the computer room and play the games. I like going there, but I want to learn more about how things work and it feels like the Science Center is for younger kids. I also learned a game called Stratego and a new game that uses lasers and mirrors called Khet. The mirrors have colored sides for each team. You have to move the mirrors to hit another persons pharoah. If you are hit that is a point against you. It is a fun game that teaches you about angles and strategy, sort of like chess.
Back to mom: Of course, add to all of the above with drama class, clay class, and aikido, so the mama van continues to make the Seattle rounds. I had to work 3 12 hour shifts in a row so by Tuesday I was a bit exhausted and had much to do. We also were in frantic prep mode for his birthday party the weekend of the 26th. The theme being Secret Agent school, there were prizes and games to plan. Conor baked the cake almost by himself-mom just stands by in case the absent minded professor forgets a step. (It was prounounced very tasty by all at the party!) Now that the party is over, back to work!
