today we did a moral training camp so to speak! we went over the family rules , tweaked them a bit and added/deleted as we saw fit.  we discussed respect a lot too . this took up some of the morning so schoolwork was light.  i feel their eternal lives are at stake so that's more important.

our morning devotions centered on obedience and how if you obey you get more rewards .not in a materialistic sense i mean tho!

then the littles and i read a book about how our attitudes affect others and we discussed ways we could "do better" in our lives.

ben helped around the house a lot since we are getting ready to sell so i suspended school for him for the day, other than history class. he watched a video about hitler.

parker did  a lot of language arts today in his walmart workbook. spelling and sentence structure mainly.

not much today but a busy day nonetheless!

by the way- the woodworking surprise from ben was a new staircase bannister! :)
