Today Leanna did her second cookie-booth for Girl Scouts. She came home and straightened the beds, did dishes, and helped with general straightening up. She lead her brothers in imaginitive play (they played games like "Celtic woman.") She played on the computer for a tiny bit. She packed her things for Grammy's house. We visited for about an hour with Grammy and Aunt Laura, then Leanna & I went with them to DQ and Giant. Then it was off to Grammy's house so she can attend Sunday School tomorrow!

Schoolwork Accomplished:
*Made a 2nd, neater, expanded draft of a story she'd written before. It still needs work though. Her handwritting is finally getting to be about where it should be! Yay!
*We had a long walk-hour & a half-to the library to return books, then an hour & a half back home again. (Three books were accidentally damaged from the long walk-the bag dragged in the snow causing some water/mud damage) and we now owe the library $61.00, which means we will no longer be able to use the library.) But we did get lots of physical excersize out of it.
*Silent reading: Mrs. Piggle Wiggle (again)
*We finished Prince Caspian
