So glad to be back using HOD for my son!

This week I overheard my ds & dd making "biography bags" for their stuffed animals and dolls, including Woody and Buzz.... In the pool they wanted to know if there were currents and could we make some? They proceeded to test the pool pump's suction with bathtub boats and other floating toys... I *love* that the topics and activities inspire their play! This has been lacking during our past year's "trip around the world". I'm so looking forward to this year!
I was sitting at the table the other day, and the boys were talking about fishing, as they'd just gotten back from a fishing trip with my dh. They were talking about how they didn't catch many fish this time, and Wyatt said, "We should have been like Cleopatra's fishing partner. He had a slave dive down and put a big fish on the line, but Cleopatra was too smart and figured out what he was doing. So, she sent the slave down with a salted, old dried fish, and had him put that on the line. When her partner reeled it up, acting like he was a big fish on the line, she had the last laugh because it was just a dried out one. Her partner knew he was ousted!" He read that a long time ago - 2 years ago in CTC.
