Lentil and Other Fun Things

We read the book Lentil-a book I'd never even heard of. Most of the books we'll be reading I've never heard of/read. 

It was a cute book about a boy who wants to sing, can't even whistle and becomes an expert harmonica player. He becomes the hero when the town grouch sucks on a lemon, which makes the band players pucker up and unable to play their instruments. 

We learned: what a piccolo, trumpet, cornet and tuba are; the pledge of allegiance; Star Spangled Banner; how to whittle; what expert and whittle, and pucker actually mean; which parts of our tongues taste salty/sweet/bitter things; what things are necessary to keep a town functional (grocery store, water treatment plants, casa mexico). 

We had so much fun with this book. On Monday Spence and Bethany were in town and did school with us. The boys thought it was awesome to have someone else attend school with us. We love them! 

She loves shoes. 

I got her hair stuck in the comb-it was dumb. 

His imagination is really funny. 

Ivory soap. It smells.

Our town of cans.
