So far the kids have continued to be excited about school and homework!



Reagan has completed reading the Jr. classics of Moby Dick (in under an hour), and The Wizard of Oz, and also read Charlotte's Web.  She's a good portion of the way though another E.B. White book now, The Trumpet of the Swan, and is also concurrently re-reading the Bunnicula series.  I believe she finished up Howliday in on Saturday.  I still can't get over how fast that kid reads!!

This weekend we took the kids for a special trip down to Phoenix.  We spend Saturday evening, and Sunday morning at the water park of the Arizona Grand Resort, but Saturday morning and afternoon were spend at the Challenger Space Museum!  This was a great experience for all!  The trip to the museum was all planned by Daddy, who also found out on the museum website that there was an opportunity to earn a special Girl Scout patch there for Reagan.  They have a Boy Scout patch program as well, but Adam isn't old enough to join the organization until next year.  (He can't wait!)  There is a mobile planetarium that they have at the museum on certain dates, which is why Reagan was able to do the program.  We attended a showing and all the kids loved it.
