Treasure Map - A smattering of stuff

Let's see what we've done lately...watched an episode of Cyber Chase on PBS Kids which used percentages as fractions to solve problems. Watched a video on Mr. Rogers demonstrating how garden hoes are made in the factory. Andy and Dave went bowling with the homeschool group. Andy and I took a trip to Howe Caverns. He helped our neighbor pick tomatoes, helped Dave paint the basement landing, helped Grammy walk out of Friendly's so she could "keep her sense of balance." We went out for Chinese with our neighbor Wally. We went out for Chinese with our friends Alexa & Cam. Andy enjoyed learning and pronouncing some Chinese words and coming up with 101 uses for chopsticks. We played a game of invisible baseball in the park. Andy drew some comics complete with words, and wrote us some notes, many of which said "I love you." He talks with his girlfriends on his pretend cell phone. He got a crime investigation kit from Barnes & Noble and loves to look for clues and evidence. We've watched and discussed Animal Planet, Wife Swap, Supernanny, some comedies, some cop shows, and the news (on occasion when Dave happens to be watching it- but I am becoming more aware of how this affects him and makes him worry), and loads of PBS kids shows...
