Today we started to officially sit down and do schoolwork for the fall semester. Homeschoolers were wishing each other a Happy Not Back to School Day across the area and the web. I prefer the school work that is not workbook or sitting down related, so I really wasn't looking forward to that part. But like Scottish dancing, it was more fun than I had anticipated! Leo even looked at me and said this is fun at one time. I must be doing something right.
It's scary how much you can forget over the course of the summer. I had to back up a few times trying to go forward in math. Decimals! Oh well, it comes back. Knowledge, information, seems to come into the brain in waves, coming and going, until the tide comes in and its all there! But...well, the tide also goes back out again, into the nothingness, unless you've made some fortifications. But that's why we write things down--that's why I write things down! Age seems to be weakening my minds fortifications or maybe it's the Texan sun.
Tomorrow will be day two and after that hopefully we will stop counting and just enjoy our new schedule. Thursday we are heading down to the Witte Museum in San Antonio to see an exhibit about Leonardo da Vinci's machines. We are doing mechanical science this year and we thought this would be a perfect field trip--"perfect" was Cisco's descriptive word and Leo and I agreed.
