We went to Nauvoo the other day and the kids really wanted to go into the school house to show their Dad how smart they were. They did pretty good on figuring out the phonetically spelled words. Then came the hard part ….math. So they each have a little chalk board to help them figure the problem out. The teacher starts with “there were 350 brick houses in Nauvoo” At this point Amanda needs to come sit by me so she knows what 350 looks like “There were 650 wood framed so write down 650” At this point Josh erases the 3 in 350 and changes it to a six to make 650. “There are 2,500 cabins. How many houses were in Nauvoo?” At this point the adding begins….Amanda is still trying to figure out what the numbers look like. Josh is trying his hardest to add even though 1 plus 6 plus 3 plus 5 equals 3. And Ashley was just pretending to be deep in thought erasing the whole time thinking we would not notice. Needless to say after Eddie and I rolled in hysterics we now really realize what we have.
. All this after just finishing laughing because the lady asked what is Ohio known for and Ashley blurted out as fast as she could“Potatoes!”
(This picture is to remind us how old they really are)
