ah, homeschooling

We're discussing ancient Egypt and what their houses looked like. We talked about how they spent a lot of time on the roofs of their houses because it was cooler up there. We talked about how Grandpa used to sleep on the roof in India when he was growing up. We talked about how only rich people in ancient Egypt had a bathroom indoors, but they probably only had one and had to share, and the servants had to empty the lavatories and pour the water for the showers.

Alaina: "I'm glad I don't live in ancient Egypt."

Jadyn: "Me too. I'm glad we're Texans."

...why I love Crocs.

A.J. (not yet 18 months old) put his Crocs on his own feet this morning. Each on the correct foot.

Hooray for things that make my life easier!
