Since I'm so far behind I'll start with Saturday, Feb.2, the Boy Scouts did a 3 mile hike up to Castello Saraceno in Taormina and Sunday marked the beginning of "Scout week." Sunday afternoon a group of us went for a 24 mile round trip bike ride to Sferro.
Wednesday, Feb. 6, Nick came in second place at in the chess club tournament, he was very excited. On Thursday, Feb. 7th we had our first homeschooling book club meeting. The kids all read The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. While at the meeting I finished sewing on a belly cast to a canvas, I forgot to take a picture...rats. On Thursday and Friday night the boys had some friends sleep over, Skylar and Gunnar.
On Friday, Feb 8th, we went rock climbing at the Cave with our homeschooling group and then we got a sitter and went to some friends house for game night. On Saturday, Feb 9, Bud and I went for a 20 mile ride up to Motta for a cappuccino and later that afternoon was the big Blue and Gold banquet, the Boy Scouts anniversary. It was a huge success! Bud, Cub Master of Pack 53, did a wonderful job! Thomas earned the rank of WEBELOS and is now working on his Arrow of Light.
Yesterday, Feb. 10, a group of us tried a new biking route. A 27 mile ride up a very long hill and down a very fast hill on the other side!
We are all doing well and looking forward to this weeks homeschool Valentine's Day party on Wednesday.
Ciao,
Heather

Ohhh, we loved "The Tale of Despereaux". It's kind of an odd book isn't it? Anyway, odd or not we liked it. :-)
