more snow please

We had such fun playing in the snow on thursday and that sam and miko would like to order more. Sam so he can have snow ball fights and build snowmen and miko so she can eat it! It was so funny to watch her jumping up to try and catch the snow flakes, I don't think she knew quite what to make of them. So sam and miko would like lots more please ( thought not as much as they have had in upstate NY!).

The snow was a nice way to end the week. We spent the first half of the week with our noses to the grindstone doing lots of school work. Sam's top favs this week have been science ( big surprise there),latin and history and anything on education city. We upgraded our before you know it on line language programme so now we have tons more latin word lists. We spent wednesday learing to count to 20 in latin and then linking it with roman numerals and our current number system. That led to more discussions on the romans and a few math problems done in roman numerals. Don't you just love it when all of the subjects come together like that. Next week we are going to start focusing on our work for the iditarod and looking at norway. Sam has decided that Miko gets to choose a musher and if her musher wins he gets the prize instead of her. Doesn't sound very fair to me!

T & L came up today and it was lovely to see them. We had a trip out to melton to get sausages and to take miko for a walk. Then it was back for a big lego session and dinner before they had to head home and M head off to work. Miko was so excited to see them-she wagged her tail so much I thought it was going to come off. They brought her a fluffy toy which she hasn't let go of all afternoon. Needless to say it is now very soggy indeed.
