DD4 is quite obsessed with her new computer games. I got her Zoo Zillions and Carnival Countdown and a Reader Rabbit, all used. She spent hours this past week doing them.

She and DS13 and I made a ton of European food last night: swiss fondue, truffles au chocolat, and fresh linguini al pesto. Yum! Tonight is the cultural festival, so we were getting ready for that. The kids are singing a Czech canon and doing two Scottish Highland Dances. We have to leave the festival early though because DS14 is getting an academic award at school tonight. Whoo-hoo! Last night he skipped the girl's varsity softball playoff game to write some essays that are due tomorrow. I was shocked. There may be hope for him yet.

DS13 told me the other day that he wants to homeschool next year. This is the fourth time he's flip-flopped, so I still am not sure, but it looks pretty likely. I'm excited!

Have a great rest of the week,
