Star Wars Legos I

The boys couldn't wait to get home from school - finish homework and get to play Star Wars Legos I. They've had the game for months, but didn't get to install it on their laptops until last night. Keith couldn't wait to do his homework! Randy didn't have any, but he had to read the book for Keith, so Keith could do his book report. They didn't even have a snack - they must be starving - that should mean they'll eat their dinner without complaints!

I think they both know more things about the computer than I do. And that may or may not be a good thing. They need to practice teamwork a bit and I'd love it if they would stop whining at each other, but for the most part, it's really nice to see them interact with each other. Sometimes, they can be so nice to each other!

I helped out in Randy's class today. It looks like they'll be doing some fun stuff after the Thanksgiving break. They'll be learning about the holidays in all different parts of the world and they are even going to have a Christmas tree in their room. It's not a real tree, it's just paper, but I'm glad that they'll be doing it, instead of just ignoring the holiday because of political correctness. I put together almost 60 booklets for them. They'll be learning about what people do for the holidays in the U.S., Holland, England, Sweden, China, Africa, Mexico,Germany, Italy, France and Israel. They'll make a craft/decoration related to each place and they'll be put up on the tree. They are going to end with an international cookie exchange - I'll need to get more info about that because normally we are not allowed to take home baked goods to school, but we'll see.

Yesterday the boys wanted to go out and kick the ball around in the park. It was nice to be outside - the weather is gorgeous and they enjoyed playing in the grass (they ask for grass on a regular basis - poor children - we only have stone front and back). When we went outside, our neighbor (from two houses down) was blowing all the crust and leaves and gunk out of his yard and the yard between ours. I told him that he should do ours next and would you believe it? He did it!! He blew out the whole side by our front door! That's what I call neighborly!!

I should go check the mail and start thinking about dinner and the Suns are playing tonight!!

Go Suns!!
