Guess who likes shepherds pie?
Little fella turns up his nose to all edibles 'baby' no Cheerios no puffy things and certainly no mushed up baby food ....

masterpiece on pbs
the at and t representative today was 'aghast' that we didnt' have television...no doubt envisioning us among ludites and quakers. but of course we have our more than fair share of watchings that go on in this house...whether vision video of old in Athens or Netflix of new in the present...josh and I as well as the kids love our bits of 'television'
I have a very nearly insatiable desire to share things that I really like...with whom through blogging, I have do idea...but nonetheless I ramble on anyway ;)...for this has always been more an outlet and an imaginary chat with my mum for me anyway =)
sooo, what are we watching?
the kids LOVE shaun the sheep...and so do we! ha! that show is probably my favorite children's show out there...it is HILARIOUS...I can hear the kids laughing from the other room...
human planet is another favorite...and little house on the prairie from youtube (which may remain a favorite for about 14 years as there are SO MANY EPISODES) =)
I love masterpiece ...you can just go to pbs.org and find the shows...downton..of course wonderful...but my new favorite is 'call the midwives'...I am on the second season and I CRY MY EYES OUT everytime I watch it....it is so beautiful and nostalgic...even though I wasn't alive in the 50's!! haha! it still stirs something in me...there is one character, chummy, who is about 6 feet tall and a heavy build (so not like my mum) but who looks like pictures I have seen of my mum when she was about 15...it is strange and wonderful....the program is based on the memoirs of a midwife in east end London in the 50's. now, josh can hang with me on many shows but alas, he draws the line here...I think watching the birth of our 3 children from the business end proooooobably has given him his fill of the maternity ward =)
though let's be honest, it is pretty flat out amazing...weird, sure. bloody, sure. other stuffy, sure. but a BABY coming out of a womb into the world for the first time!!!!!! radical.
josh and I like a program called wallander...the Swedish one is great (though I dont' do a lot of sleeping afterwards) and then a British show in English as opposed to subtitles of the same name...also good but different. ooooooook, what a lot of nonsense I know...but there you have it!

first watermelon of the season!
this is the first time i have given esme a 'real' knife to cut something up...
i figured cutting something with almost zero resistance is the way to go...
the kids LOVE watermelon...and so does titus!

first
this and that
jack accidentally broke the sander (honest mistake...it looked like there was sandpaper on the wheel when there wasn't so it ground the wheel down when he used it so it will no longer hold velcro sandpaper)
so i ordered another wheel for $6 and gave jack the part and the screwdriver...he needed a little help lining up the screws for the new wheel but he fixed it himself...
not a hard job but he really felt good about it...
made me wonder how very often i do something bc it is quicker for me to do when he could do it and learn from it and really enjoy it!
!!!!!!!
one of the great lessons in parenthood i think...that i am always learning and relearning..
to say 'yes'

'school'
so we are making it up as we go...i want to do some sort of schooling this summer....we need to keep up with reading and math for jack and esme is on the cusp of putting so much together in the reading world i want to ride that wave....
but it is SUMMER!!!
so far they read something to me each day....and we have been playing games
this one i believe will become a favorite ...they played it off and on all day...
i found them from a math mom blog...of sorts
there are 3 levels...we have the first 2...equilibria is for esme age and is very structural in nature and then architecto (i think) is jack's level and is making 3d models...
each model stands up and esme you can see each part and it is a balancing act at times...jack's pictures look like a model...a blob sometimes and he has to figure out how to make his shapes into their shapes by putting them together...
jack enjoyed esme's and his....
esme just loved hers (possibly bc it was 'hers') =)
anywho...AWESOME game...they kids loved it...i am not sure how many computations there are ...but each one become progressively more difficult...
