marked absent on the first day of school

We have been looking forward to today for a while, since I am officially home for good and can concentrate on getting school started. However, Adon got sick this morning, and I had lots of freelance work to do (already!), so we wrote off school for today. The boys have been good about keeping themselves busy, and Adon actually spent quite a bit of time with his book "Physics: Why Matter Matters!" by Basher (illustration) and Dan Green (writing). It illustrates and explains both the mundane as well as the more complicated concepts related to physics and gives each a personality. Mass, weight, density, speed, etc. are given their own personalities as illustrated characters, yet explained in terms of physics. We also have the Basher book "The Periodic Table: Elements with Style!" Zander built Boom Blox levels for a while, then transitioned to LEGO for a while, and then jumped on the computer to create tone sequences on the following site:

Simple, but fun for kids. I made a few sequences myself. We'll post some of our creations later; you can copy and paste them into the website's interface to hear them.
