The Forgotten Blog

... though it has been in the back of my brain to post. A lot. But life keeps getting in the way, along with one move, a really bad economic period in our lives, and a wanky computer (oh and the 3 little bodies who try to overtake it.. Ferb 9, Candace 7, and Phineas 4). But with the move we did sign up for cable TV. We have been without cable for almost a year now. I'm ready to toss the cable again NOW after just a few weeks though. We are not TV people. Computer people, yes. Tv, no. For us the cost is prohibitive for the amount that we watch it. And Ferb cannot handle TV, way too overstimulating for him.

In terms of academics, we have made a lot of headway recently. Ferb is a visual kid so for him Khan Academy Math videos on youtube have been wonderful. Because his is SO visual he is not digging SOTW3 as much as I had hoped. I'm afraid it's only so-so for him. His sister meanwhile is loving SOTW1. Both kids are into anything Mythology-related (and oh what timing with the release of the Percy Jackson MOVIE). Ferb thinks he *is* Percy. Seriously. This child is so at home in the water and if we weren't in the shark bite capital of the WORLD I'd be more comfortable with that fact.
