Persia

Today was our first day back from our Valentine's week break. We don't normally take a week off for Valentine's day but we were ready for a break and we had a lot of stuff going on last week so we skipped school. 

• I think it is safe to say that Hershey is potty trained. He has not had an accident in several days. Today he actually wore real underwear all day long, even when we were out and about. 
• Skittles did a cool science experiment to learn about water pressure. He took a gallon jug and nailed 4 holes in it. Then he covered the holes with tape and filled the jug with water. Then he removed the tape and saw the force with which the water drained from each of the holes. It was a very cool experiment. I did not have to do a thing. He completely handled it on his own. I just wish he had placed the jug in the bath tub instead of on the counter top. 
• The boys had a slightly extended break dance class today. They are going to be performing this weekend. I can't wait to see it. Twizzler has been battling stage fright over the last few years. This is the first stage performance that I have seen him REALLY excited for. He is really proud of his dancing skills. 
• We are learning about Persia this week. It lined up perfectly with our lesson at church where we are learning about Queen Esther. We watched One Night With the King yesterday. If you haven't seen that movie yet, check it out.
