		<description><![CDATA[I have a favorite new website that I found: Art Projects for Kids. With step-by-step instructions from an elementary school art teacher, my kitchen walls are now quite delightful. Spy made most of these although I included his brother in the &#8216;Falling&#8217; art project. We couldn&#8217;t get all of Q&#8217;s hands and feet on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Teaching Spy and Q vocabulary words can be&#8230; interesting. Take today&#8217;s example. One of Spy&#8217;s vocabulary words this week is: antenna. The instructions were simple: circle the word that does not belong. Here, you try it: claw     antenna     machine     eye Easy you say? Are you certain? We spent a good 5 minutes arguing discussing which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was the last week of summer. Spymom believes all boys require copious outside time. Whining, Spy and Q were dragged into the yard. &#8220;Play,&#8221; I commanded. More whining ensued. At last, I managed to get Q to play a game of catch with me. Spy, meanwhile, was poking around the yard. Spy catches things. [...]]]></description>

People were wandering about, chatting and walking to the Duty Free store as cars crept one car length at a time towards the border. When at last we arrived, we&#8217;d all but finished answering the officer&#8217;s questions when Spy [...]]]></description>

Arrete was the first word to be assimilated. Followed by: Bonjour, Merci, and Mouche. Spy delighted in pointing out: Every. Single. Mouche. And much to the amazement of [...]]]></description>

Stop 1: The Granite Factory Rock of Ages Spy and Q sandblasted their very own granite samples (a puppy and a wolf respectively). Then, we toured the enormous granite factory. You&#8217;re seeing about half the place here. It was very loud. [...]]]></description>

It was early &#8211; not crowed and comfortably shaded &#8211; and so we began to wander down the street. Much attracted the boys&#8217; interest, mostly as curiosities, not as anything they hoped to own. Then Spy&#8217;s attention focused with laser-like [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not looking to start a fight of phonics vs. whole language vs. whatever. Plenty has been written and posted about that elsewhere.

I keep waiting for his interest to fade, but here we are at three months and it&#8217;s still going strong. So when it came time to plan his birthday party, it was no surprise when he [...]]]></description>
