The Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria...

Today was our second day of homeschool.

Everything went rather well. Even though, it is just our second day we already have a little bit of a routine going.

I don't know about you but me and my kids do very well with routines!
We all know what to expect and find comfort and joy in that.

Don't get me wrong, we love to do other fun and unexpected things as well!
Should I ever make the mistake of asking the kids if they'd rather do their routines or something else, you can bet they would answer "something else" every single time!
But after a while of extra ordinary activities they get restless and grumpy for no obvious reason (after all they get to do so many special things, they SHOULD be extra happy).

The solution: Getting back into our routines!
And we're back to normal within two days (two long and agonizing days, I might add!)! Yay!

Anyways, the CSH CDs with all the memory work songs on them are part of our morning routine and we really enjoy them (and I'm saying that after I listened to "the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria; the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria" sung slightly off key for most of the day in one seemingly endless loop).

I will never, ever be able to forget the names of the three ships that Christopher Columbus sailed to America with!

Never!

Even, if I wanted to!

But I guess, that's the goal!

I hope by the end of next week we'll also remember what year that was in...
