Thanksgiving weekend

Thursday - exploratorium
            - cheer
            - soccer practice

Friday - kids worked on their language arts. 

Nathan finished his invitations, they looked great.  

Genevieve worked on finishing up her MBTP.  She can is almost ready for the tea party, but since she wants to invite friends I need to figure out a day that works.  

EA 1-4. Nathan worked on a report of South Korea. 

Genevieve worked on top secret adventures South Korea    

We read the book seesaw girl last month.  It was a book on Korea 1400's life of an aristocratic girl.  



We then delivered papers

Had dinner then off to the pool to have a Friday night hangout with some other homeschoolers. 

Saturday - a day of rest - no cheer no soccer, wow it was peaceful.  

Sunday.  Nathan held his tea party.  He prepared snacks served tea, and organized a game.  We played professor noggins Canadian History.  We learned that my parents know a lot about Canadian history, especially my mom, we will have to play this game again. 

Nathan's tea party

We had our family thanksgiving dinner later with both sets of grandparents.  

Monday 

We worked on our timelines today.  

We also went into a metric system math lesson as we needed it to divide Genevieve's space equally into 10 pieces.   We had about a 1/2 hour lesson, on math and then they had to implement what they learned.  Nathan wanted to learn more about other metric measurements.  I explained the principal is the same we just change the base.

I have more pictures but they are on Jeff's phone and for some reason they didn't get sent to my phone...

We then watched a nova movie on Neanderthals. 

Nathan during the lesson was acting a little off, hard to concentrate, making weird noises, still trying but just difficult to teach.  We decided to watch the movie to calm down. 

By dinner time nathan was having a really hard time, just not himself could not stay quiet.  Ginger ran away and hid and both Jeff and I knew nathan was in god a big something.  His eyes were also twitching at the dinner table.  Nathan went down to watch the hockey game, came up for bed at 8 pm. While getting ready for bed he had some aura as he walked into his bedroom, Jeff was there to catch him but he said he felt dizzy and would have fallen if Jeff was not there. He was seeing all sorts of bubbles and floating dots.  About 1/2 hour after going to bed he came into my room crying he had a nog headache between his eyebrows.  This is not a typical spot for nathan to have a headache.  He said it was bad, but he was still able to walk so maybe a 6 on Nathan's headache scales.  A 10 is when he turned purple and I could not move him an inch.  I rubbed his back and used essential oils on him peppermint, almond and lavender.  This seemed to help him.  

Anyway ginger the super dog really does know when something is up with nathan before it even happens.  Too bad she runs away and doesn't comfort him, but we know if ginger is hiding, it will be a rough night for nathan.

  1. So sorry to hear Nathan continuing to struggle with medical issues. He is so brave! I wish there were more I could do to help... Let me know if there are other calming things that might be useful, like an essential oil diffuser, Have you been in to see Dr. Pleydell-Pearce recently? I know he's been away for quite some time...
