  • B drew a great picture of the puppet lambchop!

  • Made everyone go outside for a while. it's beautiful but chilly but everyone is feeling sluggish for some reason

  • Now B is handwashing the linen matzah cover for Passover. She loves handwashing things.

  • J read Faith and Life and his poetry assignment and that's all he's done today except play on the computer

  • read Devotional Stories, Bible History and a few pages out of the a beka Health, Safety and Manners book over dinner of leftovers.

Isn't it funny how they pick up on the grade stuff even if WE don't really follow it much?

And, totally off-topic, but how do you do those little flowers?? :)
