School, that is. Between remodel errands, working part-time and watching three small children a couple of times a week, our school times have been hit and miss. But today was a good day, so I'll go to sleep with that thought to comfort me!
In Bible, we're currently in Joshua 2 reading about the spies and Rahab. With Weaver, our other studies correlate and have included communication and espionage. So part of our school time yesterday included a trip to the mall where we trailed an unsuspecting shopper, trying to get information, such as what they were shopping for, apparent moods, etc. The kids had a lot of fun with that. Then today, K's writing assignment in Writing Strands had him hide and watch while someone did a good deed, then prepare to report on it in writing. I had dh help out with this by putting away the clean dishes. It seemed to go right along with our spying activities. We've also discussed communication, and will have some fun with codes in the next day or two.
Dh's near and dear cousin is in the hospital following surgery for a brain aneurysm. Your prayers are appreciated.
The back house should be completed in about two weeks, hopefully in time to get my mother moved in before Thanksgiving. I'm sure she'd like to be settled in her own place by then.
Tomorrow's plans include more remodel errands - buying the last of the light fixtures, Art at the Library program with a couple of other homeschool friends, karate in the evening, and whatever school we happen to get to. I want to make sure we get in the three R's and Bible if nothing else.
I'm looking forward to an extra hour of sleep this weekend? How about you?
