The Nina, The Pinta and the Vanishing Treasure

This week has been a busy one as far as school work goes.  Alex has been taking mid-terms and Abby has been putting together Travel Guides for 7 countries for Social Studies.

Amanda has been facing down 2 projects:  A poster for Día de Reyes in Puerto Rico, also known as Three Kings Day or the Epiphany, as well as the infamous 5th grade video book report.

Her book of choice is from the Alec Flint, Super Sleuth series by Jill Santopolo:  The Nina, the Pinta and the Vanishing Treasure.

Just a note:  If you recall, Abby did this project back in 2010 on the book 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass.  That video has been my family's 2nd most popular submission to YouTube amassing over 2400 views to date.  The original blog post for it can be found here if you're looking for a refresher.
 

Happy 6th Birthday Aidan

This past Thursday, January 19th, our little man turned 6.  We celebrated Thursday night with just the 6 of us.  Following that, on Sunday we had a larger party with family and friends.

Happy Birthday,  Bub.
