*We did a few more pages of work in the Revolutionary War Time Pockets book.
*She began a new project on her loom.
*We read a page on cool facts about bats & related it to our own experience with bats

Timothy-3 pages of math workbook with me.  Leanna tried to help him a bit too.  He spent some time on webkinz world.  He watched WordWorld and WordGirl on PBS.
Justin-watched a Little House on the Prairie movie, we talked a bit about similarities and differences in the books/tv show. He also watched WordWorld and WordGirl on PBS.  He tried spelling words along with WordWorld. 
Jacob even played nicely on the floor with Lorelei for a little this afternoon. 
Tony the Plumber's wife stopped by and the kids ran around outside while I talked to her.  Lorelei let Tom and the kids hold her for a while tonight which let me accomplish things.  We all straightened up downstairs and Timothy in particular helped me out a lot.  Leanna and I traded off washing/drying dishes tonight and she did schoolwork in between.  I gave Jacob a bleach bath and Timothy joined him, then they showered to rinse the bleach off (his skin does look much better now).  I cleaned the bathroom while they were in the tub.  Justin got his shower earlier and Leanna took a bath tonight too.  I talked to both my parents on the phone tonight. I spent a bit of time with Tom even.  Leanna and I talked about her plans to keep a binder for teaching plans so she can be my assistant teacher to help teach her brothers.  I felt very productive for once!
