Our little prankster

by Graham // 1 comment // tagged with: Elisabeth

Our oral hygiene routine at night includes Elisabeth brushing her teeth, parental re-brushing, and then parental flossing. True to form, last night I left Elisabeth in the bathroom to brush her teeth while I went to put some clean clothes away.

When I returned, the bathroom light was off, and I quickly flicked the switch to turn it on - and found my finger sticky with blue toothpaste!

I have to give her credit. She got me!

Saving the Liberty Bell

by Graham // 0 comments // tagged with: Elisabeth, home schooling, children's literature

Yesterday we took a trip to the library to find books about Philadelphia so that we'll have a little bit of historical and geographical background for our time there later this week. One of the best books that we found on the stacks was Saving the Liberty Bell, a slightly fictionalized and well illustrated book of a boy who is involved in rescuing the Liberty Bell (before it was cracked!) from the redcoats.

Even though Elisabeth has very little prior knowledge about Philadelphia, the revolutionary war, or the Liberty Bell, she was excited to read the book and gained a sense of why that piece of metal is such an important part of our nation's history.
