Sweet dreams are made of Legos

 The semi-annual library Lego contest was today.  Michael entered his biggest creation yet, entitled  "Sweet dreams are made of these..."   His zany dreams came to life in his entry.

Setting it up at the library....

First Place in his age division!  

Fun Fridays: Ancient Greece

Last Friday, we had a fun day with activities revolving around ancient Greece.  Michael has been studying ancient civilizations this school year, so we've done some enrichment activities during our Fun Fridays history lessons.

Greek feast for snack...

Some "totally authentic"  Olympics games, like the rag run, book balance, plate frisbee toss and other grueling games.

We watched a couple of videos, read some books and talked about Greek mythology.  It was a "fun" day!

Chess...

Daniel competed last Saturday--Leap Day in our regional scholastic chess tournament!  He came in FIRST place!!!!  And he's going on to the state tournament!

It was a long, hard day.  Daniel wasn't feeling well, but still managed to win ALL of his games.  What an epic leap day!

Playing at home, because now Michael is interested in chess again.  He has a great coach!
