Homeschooling can be quite the challenge most days with all of the noise (the bickering, the tantrums and the constant interruptions) that accompany this pair. They are very much a part of everything we do and I like it that way but it doesn't come without it's frustrations while trying to explain how to find the area of a parallelogram to a nine year old or while explaining to a five and six year old how valuable the skill of skip counting is and will continue to be.
Even so, I refuse to allow the difficult times to steal my joy of watching these two interact and learn in their own, very beautiful, ways.
Here's a little background on the next set of pictures...
Josiah sat working earnestly on his drawings. He'd take a break to, every so often and not so gently, tap Mikey on his back in order to bring his attention to what he'd drawn. We all got quite the giggle out of watching him do this over and over and over again.

| Very serious work. |
A few side notes:
Allowing you two to use my beloved sharpie markers was the easiest way I could get through the literacy activity I was working on with Gabriella and Alyana.
Also, I was using and very closely supervising the paper-cutter in the bottom right hand corner of these picture. :)
