*Walked to the bank, dollar store, and grocery store(some excersize).
*Silent reading-Farmer Boy
*We read several chapters of On the Banks of Plum Creek together.
*Leanna spent some time on the computer today as well.
*we talked about the seasons and the weather, though that was mainly for the boys!
This was mainly a catch up day for cleaning since I was so backed up on dishes and Tom wanted me to make a ham dinner for him & Harry. So dishes & laundry and straightening up were the priority. I got my room cleaned and after having the kids clean their room I straightned up more in there as well. The place looks half decent, all the kids are bathed and sleeping earlier than they'd been. They all ate broccoli (even Justin) and the dog didn't go to the bathroom in the house today!

Friday & Sunday October 22 & 24, 2010
*Friday I don't remember exactly what we did-I believe a lot of reading and a few worksheets from the comprehensive curriculum book. She read & finished Baked Beans for Breakfast by Ruth Chew. She also started reading Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
*Sunday we had a field trip (sort of). We went to visit Tony the plumber and his family. They raise chickens, goats, ducks, roosters, & turkeys and also have 3 dogs and several cats. So we toured the place and visited with all the animals, got to see the hens in their nests with eggs, swung in a hammock seat, and ran and played. They got along fine with Tony's kids and wife. Lots of excersize, and we learned about animals and raising animals to help with food (not necesarily as a food source.....I think they do sometimes). We learned, we socialized......the kids really had fun.
