My goodness, I almost forgot about this journal. The kids were sick for so long and then we played catch up. We had a lot of out of the house activities last week which always leaves me exhausted.
We spent the week just reviewing materials, doing a lot of reading, and finishing up some projects. Musa is required to do 1 independent study each month. He chooses the subject and then decides what he wants to learn about that subject and then chooses the way in which he wants to present his material. For September he chose glue, and he finished it up last week. He choose an experiment on how to make glue with different amounts of ingredients and had to decide which amount worked best.
His hypothesis was that the 3rd attempt would work best which was: mostly milk, some gelatin and just a dash of flour. Musa the scientist was right, the 3rd recipe held much better than the first two.
Loretta now knows all the words to We Three Kings and is singing happily in the chorus. I am glad she warmed up. The mom's all met last week to divide up the sewing for the costumes. GUESS WHAT? I told them I didn't know how to sew!! It was hard, my hand kept wanting to go up and volunteer, but I didn't and I felt so good when I left. No projects hanging over my head. It is the young mothers time to volunteer and time for this mama to relax. I sew for pleasure now...not for deadlines.
