Pyramids & Plagues



Okay, we have discovered that we are NOT the best pyramid builders this last week. The kids worked all week painting and decorating their pyramids only to discover that the paint had warped the cardboard which made our pyramids difficult to put together. And we were only able to get three sides to fit together. But..... it was still fun . I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for the Ancient Egyptians & how much skill & hard labor it must have required. Maybe that is the lesson here :)

We also wrapped up the story of Moses in Exodus & covered the Ten Plagues of Egypt. The vote is in & by a land slide BOILS was the most gross & disgusting plague !

Then Friday we took a field trip to General Sherman's House in Lancaster. Unfortunately we were not aloud to take pictures inside of the house. The boys liked all the Civil War memorabilia which was cool for Zane to see since he is taking a Civil War class in Co op.

Zane started guitar lessons at the YMCA Thursday. So far , so good . He woke up Friday morning grabbed his guitar & started practicing the chords ( even before X BOX ). Life is good :)
