Italian Heritage

Leaning Tower of Piza
Why do you think the Tower of Piza is leaning?
i asked A this question from the MGT focus picture... his answer "the ground is heavy".

While taking a trip to Italy, i pulled out a bit of geneology. My husband's family is from Italy. His great-grandparents immigrated from Italy to New York and an article was written about them in the Life magazine decades ago. There is even a family picture with my husband's mom as a little girl.
A liked seeing a picture of his Nana in a magazine. He says he wants to go to Italy.
We made towers with rocks in the fresh air and made towers with foam and toothpicks and messily decorated a few pages in our MGT books.

lessons are usually like pulling teeth when we have things to do in the morning. today, the boys have been cranky. we had to do a few things in the morning. i guess i need to know all of limits a bit better. the limits of the boys when they arent in the mood and my limits when i'm not as patient as i should. sometimes, i probably should put my selfishness aside and say forget the lessons. sometimes i try to force the lessons and activities because i like them and want to share them with the kids... but that usually never works very well.
being a stay at home mom and trying to be a (school)teacher is hard. i'm not very good at it.
