School, Cookies, and Lots of Pictures!

We're studying Ancient Egypt in school right now. Mom set up a book table in a convenient place...
On our wood stove! We use it for heating in the winter, but just now it's not in use except as a great place to put books on!
Thor helped Mom pick out books about Ancient Egypt

Meanwhile, Cecily was doing her handwriting assignment in a comfy chair... 
instead of at the dining room table.
Little Rosemary decided to do her schoolwork with the alphabet magnets.

After lunch Knut brought up a tin of cookies for dessert from the basement freezer. He only meant to take two, but they were all frozen together...
Cecily wasn't really too pleased with her cookie after that. It seemed... well, just a little too small.
Unfortunately for Knut, Mom made him take the cookies apart and just take two normal-sized ones.
Poor Knut! :(

Bjorn was quite happy with his one cookie, oblivious to the suffering his older brother was going through.

Now before you think that I was just walking around taking pictures instead of doing my schoolwork, let me say that these pictures were taken both today and yesterday, mostly during the snack break at 10:30-10:40, some during lunch break.

In our garden, the moonflowers on our bean tepee have finally opened!
They are beautiful!

Oh, dear! There are no pictures of Gloria in this post! I'd better remedy that.
It's 5 months old, but it's awfully cute!
