Right now Jayla is sitting next to Jack (who is sleeping) "reading" a book. She told me she is making a story up from the pictures. I'm not sure what book it is, but she's telling me she really likes snow. Earlier, on the way to a friend's, Jonathan had his Bible in the van and he was helping Jayla read some words! :)

Jacob fell asleep just down the street from our house and I couldn't wake him up to walk inside! So I had to carry him in, and he is still sleeping. We're about to leave, so I'll have to carry him back out. (sigh)

Jonathan has been reading a book about experiments/crafts. He just showed me something he wants to make for Daddy. He recently did one experiment (from this book) where you put toothpicks in a potato and leave it half-submerged in a jar of water and it is supposed to "grow a jungle". He made one for Mandie's daughter too, so we'll see which one grows faster (if she kept hers). He wants to decorate his room with a jungle theme! LOL! Now he is finishing up a story we were all making up on the way home. We each took turns to tell different parts to the story. They usually turn out pretty funny. :)

We also talk about Bible stories and play math games in the car as well as lots of other things. It seems like there is always a lot of learning going on when we are driving!!! Oh, another thing we were just doing today is we were taking turns going around saying words that rhymed. Jayla did a lot better than I thought she would! It was fun! :)

Okay, time to go to dance and AWANA! There are sure to be more stories and games as well. :)
