In a productive mood.

Emily is practicing how to add numbers between 1 and 6 in the way we all did, by rolling two six-sided dice. She is getting pretty fast at it now.

I found an interesting article in Spanish today about the hypocrisy of various world leaders in 2009. It has the advantage of the tone of sarcasm and understated wit. So the language is fairly sophisticated.

Various papers for Income Taxes have come already. While I am unlikely to file early, I am feeling optimistic about not needing an extension.

Emily was practicing her Spanish yesterday, by listening to Spanish folk songs. Some of those songs, she is learning in her before-school class (that I have responsibility for).

My first round is biased toward income and not deductions, so it will be systematically off if I tried to do it now.

Both my kids got a set of dice of their color choice in kindergarten.. plus one extra 10-sided die in a different color. Used the two 10-sideds to practice adding, subtracting, multiplication and sometimes attempted to use them for division through 4th grade.

Much more "interesting" than flashcards or "questions" :-)

I need to follow up with that. What a wonderful way to do it!
