Summertime

So far this summer has been great. One of Iyende's birthday presents was a season pass to Cedar Point, she has been going a lot. A few of her friends got passes too so that has been a big deal for them. The boys have been enjoying going to the park, doing crafts at the library, and hanging out at the beach. The pool is open but I would much rather hang out at the beach.

We started our summer term of homeschool, basically I am having them concentrate on one subject. Iyende is learning French, Scott is learning about Astronomy and Todd is improving his reading and working on learning to write. I am also teaching both Iyende and Scott more coding, they already know HTML and some Java, in fact more than me. So I should probably say that I am exposing them to more coding via books and the net rather than teaching them.

As far as travel goes next week we are going up tp Columbus for Comfest, and I have to go to New York next month and will probably take the kids with me then. I also have business in D.C in next month and soem stuff to do in August, so we will be traveling quite a bit this summer. No where outside of the states, though, until fall.

Iyende has been sleeping in but Scott and Todd get up early no matter how late we let them stay up so I am making them go to bed by 9pm, otherwise they are very crabby the nexy day. it doesn't even start getting dark until nine so they aren't too pleased with this, though they fall asleep by 9:15, 9:20.
