We've had a very productive week here at the Becker home school. The kids have been enjoying all the extra space we now have to spread out and work, even if it's only a long card table set up in the new "wing" for the time being. More space to work in also means more space to make a mess in. Paul has developed the habit of not putting away his books when he's finished with a subject, and instead just moving down a seat to an empty spot to start his next assignment. Eventually, he runs out of spots to leave his stuff all over; the other kids came to me complaining that there was no where for them to sit because Paul had monopolized nearly all of the twelve available feet of table space.
While we're all busy studying, poor old Doggers here has to find something to do with herself. Usually, that something is sleeping. She has her choice of beds and comfy chairs, and has been making good use of the sunbeam that now falls on the floor in front of the new sliding glass door in the new addition.
David is still a net liability when it come to getting school work (or any work, for that matter) done. He still believes that each and every one of us have been placed here for no other reason than to serve
him. Playing with cute, fat little babies is fun; unfortunately, we do have more things to do during the day besides provide baby entertainment. David remains unsympathetic to our pleas, as thus, we have to hustle to get as much done while he is sleeping as possible.
