I know Ruth Bell would be very disappointed to think the summer was just one ball of fun!
So, here is evidence of the children hard at work, practicing penmanship and multiplication tables! They all have to use fountain pens at their new school, and we found some great children's ones in a wonderful stationery shop (including a left-handed one for Emily). A few cents more on a notebook each, and I get quiet mornings while they are seemingly loving the novelty of writing in ink!
