Vick that's a great idea! Instead of the Stamp Act we could do the Verbal Act or the Matchbox Act (matchbox cars). Yesterday we learned about Paul Revere and he got to be PR all day; the little guy and I were British soldiers. He spent much of the day 'spying' on us from behind the couch and doorways, and dumping imaginary tea off of the couch-boat. Whenever we'd get up to go to the bathroom he'd run ahead of us yelling "The British are coming!", LOL.
Kath, thanks!
We are having fun.
He is the oldest, the other one is 3 and there's one in the oven. Today's character was going to be Ben Franklin; we made a kite earlier this week but it has been BONE cold and we haven't been able to go out and fly it.
He has been begging me to do "chemistry stuff" though, so I think we'll do George Washington instead and then mix different liquids with baking soda and see what happens.
We'll end up making baking soda 'rockets' (SMALL ones!) and aiming them at a target on the fridge, like shooting cannons back during the war and trying to aim them. Thank goodness I've got a linoleum floor. Can't wait to see my kitchen when this is done! Speaking of which, I need to go draw a target... and then figure out some more on Vick's tax idea, hehe.
