The Ninth - Am I done?

Math class today dealt with different ways to come up with 5.  

If 5 is the whole number, what combinations can be put together to make 5.

So let's say Mathey and Chief both want a treat.
"mommy, we have treats"
good idea, go get 5 treats
(Mathey's sits up)
so how many treats should we give big Mathey and 'he thinks he's big'-Chief.
"3 for Mathey, 2 for Chief"
(Mathey's ears perk up)
ok, now let's say Chief doesn't like them
"4 for Mathey, 1 for Chief"
(Mathey licks his nose)
Great.  Now lets say Mathey got in the garbage
"0 for Mathey, 5 for Chief"
(Mathey wimpers)
Fantastic job Benjamin.  Let's write these all down.
"then Mathey can have a treat"
then Mathey can have a treat.
(Mathey heartily agrees)

 As soon as school is done, there is about 1/2 an hour before lunch.

This includes lego, crane building, crane lifting, remote controls, showing Katherine how to play something, and a little more lego.








This also includes some of the best sibling time
where they work together
and play together
pretty happy
and soon getting hungry
(so keep a sharp eye for when it turns)

This 1/2 hour is also a good time to get
laundry changed
toys picked up (again)
bum changed (if you can catch her)
floors vacuumed
and dishes ignored

often times those responsibilities are a two person job.

often two people are the reason for the job.

but it is nice having helpers.
