Today we worked on picking up the house

and I worked on putting some of the laundry away

that was folded in piles in the laundry room from the weekend.

Ally began her writing today.

We are using Institute for Excellence in Writing 

as one of our resources.

It was a little difficult to find a book for her to use with her writing

because I have packed most of my books away.

But we did manage to come across one about ocean life...

Speaking of ocean life, this weekend I was able to spend some time

resizing the photos in our Beach Bungalow,

and those from February and March,

that aren't showing up in our Beach Bungalow category

because I have too many entries!

They were still pretty large from when I had only one sidebar.

As I was looking at the old photos from our Beach Bungalow,

it was starting to re-kindle the interest in going back to the beach,

especially now that public school, etc... has started back up.

So I hope to plan a day to get out there.

I'm hoping for sometime next week.

Will and I read four more chapters in our "Stories of the Pilgrims".

He kept wanting me to read the next chapter, which is a good thing...

only it can create quite a dry mouth reading aloud so much.

After our reading, he worked on a coloring page

that went with what we were reading about...

While Will and Ally worked on their academics,

the lil' girls were increasing their imagination and etiquette skills

as they had a tea party with their ceramic dolls

that they received from their great-gramma...

Later this evening, after supper,

they all spent some time outside together, playing basketball...

My dear husband isn't feeling well at all these past couple of days

so it was helpful that they were all so eager to play outside for a bit

while Daddy rested on the couch.

Now, it's time for a quite evening...

Hope everyone enjoys theirs...
