 We actually did just a little bit of work, to catch up on a couple of workbook pages, but not too much. J We spent a lot of time on Legos too! On Tuesday we got to participate in the local election and have our school picture day. The kids went out to dinner at Ryan’s with Daddy, to celebrate a relative’s birthday. 

The election part was pretty interesting, actually, though it was a simple one. But one of the volunteers was friendly and chatty, and distracted me as I was marking my ballot. (I don’t use the booths, I prefer to kneel down where the kids can see the process, so it leaves me open to distraction.) I marked the wrong candidate, and had to ask about getting a replacement ballot. It’s not that simple … they have to official destroy my ballot by tearing it, and sealing it in a special envelope, before they can hand over a new one. It was quite embarrassing, especially since our neighbor is one of the poll workers, but also quite educational. 

Friday we got together with several friends, and Saturday was a Lowe’s day.
