We had a very good week and stuck to our plan for the most part. What we didn't get to was our drawing and coloring activities for science and geography. Otherwise we accomplished enough through Thursday to basically take Friday off. Mary has loved her new typing program, which also includes phonics instruction, completing the first 10 exercises this week. Katie has been spending her free time on the computer with StudyDog and Starfall, two phonics/reading programs. The weather has been great for us to get outside this week. And, Mary has been putting her new insect collecting skills to use.
In the car:
Since we finished God's Troubadour: The Story of St. Francis of Assisi earlier this week, we re-started Wind in the Willows. Listening to audio books has been a great way to sneak extra literature into our day. We have also been listening to Common Bird Songs in the car. This was purchased on a lark during Dover Publishing's recent sale. But, it was a big hit with the girls.

I'd say getting everything done except coloring, enough to where you can take most of Friday off, is a Fantastic week! That is what I need to be aiming for, since our Fridays, with the book discussion & storyhour at 11:00, are mostly an academic loss anyway.
I am so impressed that Mary is interested in and has the stomach to watch an eye disection. I didn't dare follow the link.
The whole whole "twaddle" thing is kind of silly. I think it is actually a Charlotte Mason term, but I'm not familiar enough with CM to speak with authority.
