One of the advantages (and temptations) of home shooling is that there is no one breathing down your neck with a schedule and a recess bell. And although in general we've been pretty good about sticking to a timetable, today things ran away with us a bit...
After the boys posted their photo/caption blogs here and here, I sent them off for recess, and worked on my own blog for a few minutes. Just as I was about to call them back for a math lesson, I heard the joyful sounds of laughter eminating from the far bedroom. I wandered back there to see what they were up to, and found both boys deeply engaged in some sort of imaginative play with a few of the toys they had brought with them to Argentina interspersed with their growing "local" collection!
Elsewhere in the apartment where stashes of "guys" (like the one in the above photo, which I discovered posed on the kitchen table when I later when to get a snack), set up for a grand play adventure.
I decided to give them another 45 minutes of play time before we came together again for "school".

As Simon noted before we got started on mental addition of three-digit numbers, "Mom, that was the longest recess ever!" :-D
