Schoolwork Accomplished:
We took Lorelei for a doctor's appt. today-which meant a walk downtown. So that took up part of the AM (preparation), all the afternoon, and a bit of the evening. We walked to the main branch of the library then, stayed til the boys started melting, and then walked to Antonios. We ate there, called Tom and then drove home. Long day, big stack of books (I could so very easily tripled-or more-that stack of books!! So we got physical excersize with all our walking, socialization-with the other kids at the office, and the staff, the people at Tony's (the library wasn't busy and there weren't other people to talk to there today), although Leanna did have some conversation with the librarian who checked her out. At Antonios, the waitress told Tom his kids were well mannered. (It takes so much work to keep it that way!!)
Leanna was reading while walking to the doctor's appt.-The Spiderwick Chronicles book 2.
She also read 3 Magic Tree House books-Mummies in the Morning, The Knight at Dawn, Dinosaurs Before Dark-while at the library. And she also started Nancy Drew: The Secret of Mirror Bay.
Harry was over at night again (more socialization again.)
So-lots of reading, lots of walking, lots of talking- and Leanna did a journal entry at night too. We went to bed a bit earlier than usual, we were just tired.
