What made the difference? Having some down time this morning (I actually took a walk by myself) is key and trying to relax about the small things. And having better rested kids makes a huge difference.
Our morning started with our verses and then some math. Mr. 8 finished up fractions and is on to geometry which he wa excited about and Mr. 6 reviewed his times tables (which he happily does on the iPad). We did a bit of geography (we're on to Charlemagne's empire) and Mr. 6 and I read The Kitchen Knight with Mr. 2 which we really enjoyed. Wednesday is letter writing and Mr. 6 happily wrote his without whining (although not so with his worksheet). Mr. 8 read Beowulf and made maps and worked on his play whenever he had a break.
Now we just have piano lessons, spanish, and some reading and our day is done. Tonight there's karate and Birds of Prey at the library. Always busy!
