Ty’s theme this week centered around learning Spanish. He learned some Spanish numbers, colors, and foods. The Snack of the Week this week was ‘Spanish Rollups’ (bean burritos). Here are some pictures of the boys putting the “Spanish Rollups” together: Ty also made a pinata. This wasn’t part of his program. I had found these [...]

How does one really write an objective opinion on the ‘Greatest Stories of the Bible’ anyway? There isn’t any new material to cover, and if you’re even remotely familiar with the Bible, you already know how the stories are going to begin and end.
