As is typical with four year olds, DD chnaged her mind yesterday and rather than doing the workbook and CD, I read endless fairytales to her. It was a gray, dark, rainy, chilly day and she just wnated to snuggle under a blanket in my chair. Fine by me!

DS13's tree planting got rained out, but he ended up doing quite a bit of woodworking and took a long nap.

DS14 worked all morning with his father and learned how to drive a big boom truck. Just around the shopyard, but still. Gulp. Then he went to babysit for my sis (lifeskills:managing young children and cooking) and today he is at work at the restaurant washing dishes, which is always a good education in "real world."

Today it is DS13 doing the truck thing, and DD is going to learn some more lifeskills by helping me around the house.

Have a good week everyone!
