Sleepy Friday

I was sleepy all day today.  The girls and I are house sitting for some friends who are off on adventures for the weekend.  They have a dog and chickens, so I came over to take care of the animals.

The house is very quiet and nice.  The girls played with toys in the playroom last night and this morning.  They also played with the dog and played outside in the yard for around an hour.

They also watched a movie on Netflix today.  It was this version of Hansel and Gretel.  I was interested because they did not vilify the mother figure.  She was their actual mother and just got mad at them and told them to go pick berries in the woods.  I was glad Gretel still was the one to save them both in the end..

This afternoon, the children did their academics.  Juno did math, spelling, and handwriting.  Freyja did math, spelling, handwriting, and phonics worksheets.  Juno got to go on the computer to do one of her favorite programs, Scratch.  It is a kids' programming language that children can use to create all sorts of fun animations.  It is a free download.  I recommend it highly.  Here is a photo of Juno working on her Scratch projects.



Now, Freyja will get time on the computer.  I know she will do what she did on the computer yesterday, because she thought it was hilarious.  On Cool Math for Kids, she found some Christmas-themed games.  There is one where the reindeer has to kick Santa into the chimney (Super Santa Kicker) and the kids have to figure out how to aim him and avoid obstacles.

Cheers!
