While were still in Idaho we learned about Jane Austen. We read a Usborne version of Pride and Prejudice. Maxwell was not interested. He was making duct tape wallets while listening. Is it some genetic thing that boys don't like Jane Austen? I LOVE Austen books. Oh well. We made silhouettes as a memento.
We also learned about Samuel Morse. A great graphic novel about him is "Samuel Morse and the Telegraph" by Seidman. I bought a Morse code kit, but it was just a glorified buzzer. Next time around I think I'll get some walky talkies that buzz and see if my boys can send messages with Morse code. I'ld like them to memorize it someday (my husband grew up on a boat, so we think it's still useful.) ...---...
Your husband grew up on a boat? How cool is that! How did you two meet, by the way? And I'm sad that you're back in Canada...I love Idaho! But yay for your house selling!!!
