Book Reports and Bubble Gum

This past week, Little Buddy had the assignment of reading a book and completing a book report. At first, you would have thought I said, "stick hot pokers in your eyes as you write your book report." Oh my goodness - such fussin. When I told him he would be presenting his written book report orally to his Daddy and me, he surprised me by being totally thrilled! Go figure.

His routine assigment each week now includes reading a chapter book and providing a book report the following Monday. His favorite part? The presentation of his book report. That's a good thing!

Last week we also enjoyed making bubble gum as our science project. We have chewed so much bubble gum my jaws are throbbing! Remember that feeling of chewing a big ole hunk of bubble gum for way too long? Well, that's how my jaws were feeling. And I am way past knowing better. Oh well, Little Buddy loved it and so did I. How exciting it was to watch him create his very own recipes of bubble gum.
