Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?

As Christmas break has hit us and we prepare for visions of sugar plums and the onslaught of wrapping paper and relatives, we are "homeschooling." I don't want the young ones to bore. Ollie is pictured above with his key board and abacus, his sword and his shield, and his megaphone for barking orders at his un-potty trained brother. Our schedule is pretty loose (notice the pjs..) and so far we have relished morning stretches, reading and writing, math, cooking, chore charts and science. So much fun...
