Well, this week has been pretty fun. The highlight of the week was the crab. Wesley is on a crab kick and for those of you who know Wesley well, know exactly what that means. It means that I can't get him to do anything else except think of crabs. We have been through many kicks with him. Anyway, right now it is crabs. He draws them and cuts them out, folds them into origami, anything from kitchen becomes a crab. Anyway, crab stuff everywhere. Well, I went grocery shopping one night and I saw a whole crab. I probably sat there for 5 minutes trying to decide if I should do it. Then I thought that is what homeschool moms have to do and if nothing else it would be a great biology lesson. So the next morning I showed Wesley the crab in the fridge and he we soooo excited! He asked every question he could think of: "Why is one pincer open and the other closed? Did he pinch someone when they caught him? How do they kill them? Do they use a slingshot or a gun?" The questions came all day and he opened the fridge dozens of times before we finally got to cook it. It was a monumental moment for our family. Chet and Wesley loved handling it after we cooked it. Wesley didn't want to eat it for a long time because he was "studying" it. But it was a serious biology class and it was surprisingly good! So it was a good week! Hope you are all doing well!
