Day 44---Thursday

B got an American Girl magazine in the mail, which led her to americangirl.com where this game was. It's a game where Josefina buys objects (in Spanish) and then sells them to people (in English). B and J both had to play, and as the levels went up, more and more objects were added (expanding vocabulary), and her shopping list got bigger--things she needed to take home. Te kids had fun with this for more than 45 minutes---so I had to make it the picture of the day.

I had just given B a Meet Josefina book for Sticky Chins Day, so the next morning, we read some of it together as we ate breakfast. Josephina is an American girl in New Mexico in 1824. Her mother has died, and she lives on her father's ranch. I can't wait to read the rest of her story.
