We had a wonderful homeschooling week.  Lizavet' and Alyosha went to a nature group Tuesday through the local homeschool group.  They made campfire bread, played with other kids, and whittled things out of wood.  They absolutely loved it.

Russian class today went very well.  Saturday is their group Russian class and their head teacher, Vera, is a wonderfully strict Soviet woman.  To please her is somewhat difficult and to receive a compliment from her is very high praise so it was wonderful today when she repeatedly complimented Liza on her accent ("Your mother teaches you well," she said to Liza in her very thick accent, "You speak Russian like you live there.")

I keep thinking I'll venture downstairs and get out the OM binders and plan for next week but, alas, the stairs are many and my energy level is low.  I picked up The Legend of Sleepy Hollow at the library the other day, I think that will be a good October family read.  Misha and I finished the second book in the Tales from the Odyssey so I picked up the third one as well.  He received "Aragorn's Quest" on Wii for his birthday and now wants me to read him The Hobbit so I'll add that to his list.
