then & NOW

Yeah. I know. It is the 9th of February and I've only gotten to the third challenge from the "Joy of Love" blog. That's okay. I'm not giving up - at all - just need more time in the day!

This pic op was to highlight the then and NOW in our lives. As many as there are to share, I caught this one just a few minutes ago, because my friend, Pam helped me think of it! Six years ago, we did not see any of THIS in our house...
HOMEWORK!
Can you use algebraic expressions to define the terms of probability? I can't. I can tell you the ratio if I spin a spinner, but that's about all this third grade teacher can handle. These days Chato sits for quite some time with Brandan working out fractions, decimals, and numeric sentences using formulas and facts. Yuck. This historical writer girl is not math friendly.
BUT...
Take me back to Brandan's kindergarten assignments and I will show you where I was able to influence his homework! :) Spring Break journal...easy peasy! I love it!!
"THEN" is always easier to handle than the "NOW". Preteen brain chemicals and us DO NOT mix well. Now where's that time machine?
-------------
This is how is WAS & IS.
Day FOUR challenge?
Look forward to seeing...What they WEAR!!

Hee, glad I inspired that...Brandan does NOT look happy doing his homework.

Love the approach you took to this prompt!
