Don't spill the beans game

Here is a game B saw on a King of the Hill episode...but hurrah for initiative...he cut out the box and created the board...
Rules: roll the dice
Move ahead and count all the numbers together on the spaces you moved. Then take that number to fill the tumbler barrel and hope the barrel does not tip. If it tips, you move backwards to nearest 0. First to hit home wins.
Cute! And I'm digging the fact he will actually do math for fun.

Twinkless Twinkless

Twinkless Twinkless spot of Black
In the Starry Zodiac,
Sucking in all Matter and Light
Turning Sunshine into Night.
Twinkless Twinkless
Lost Control!
Now We Are In The Black Hole!

Astronomy

I've asked B to help teach C about astronomy. It seems to of really inspired B! Here is a handmade telescope, a planet chart and a discovery table.
There is astronomer C searching the ceiling for uncharted territory (notice the popsicle....a celestial must have!)

This is SPARTA!

We have moved back to Story of the World....and have enjoyed our ancient Greek studies. Here are our helmets we made. B has been stuck with his nose the Fire of Ares book series. (here is the paper doll converted into a bookmark)
Now he wants go make the complete armor..I'm suggesting making the shield next. One step at a time. These helmets took a week to make!

Garden finds

This is an arrowhead B found in our yard. Incredible! Went discovered that this is a Dart and was made 2,000-8,000 years ago. Hunting....giant sloth? Anyone's guess. But it definitely happened in our back yard!

Matchbox driver.

B decided to make his own illusion. He came up with the idea, I just took the pic.
Fun!

Gold Rush!

We are reading By the Great Horned Spoon by Fleischman. I read while the boys make Legos. Here is a boat to CA and a guy panning for gold. Cool!
