Justin, Timothy, and Jacob:
 *We read Growing Up with a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life by Carol McCloud(three quarter of the book) we discussed the concepts.  Justin was paying more attention and getting more out of it than the other boys.
We really need to work on character development, it took quite a while to get through the reading and discussion and they all needed a break afterwards.  So the boys did play outside also, but this book was our main school for the day. 
 I read  a bit more with just Leanna later on. 
Justin did his webkinz.

Schoolwork Accomplished:

A field trip day of sorts.  It was Columbus Day, which I forgot when planning to stop by the bank before going downtown, make a surprise trip to McDonalds before taking Flat Stanley Pictures and go to Lorelei's doctor's appt.  Then I was planning to go to the library and then Antonios where Tom would pick us up and we'd go grocery shopping.  It did not work out that way though.

The alarm didn't go off and I woke up when we were supposed to be leaving.  I didn't get to eat and apparently Leanna didn't either.  Jacob lost his shoes which were placed in the bin the night before (where did they go??), I forgot the camera and sent Justin back for it, he couldn't find it so I had to run back for it, we didn't have time to stop at McDonalds for coffee for me or even a small treat for the kids, the kids weren't behaving at all, I got so mad I was going to take them home, but decided we should eat......I felt funny taking the kids to Antonios without Tom so we went to McDonalds instead.  Tom called then so we met him and I just dropped off the overdue library books and we just went straight to the grocery store.  A very long day.  We managed to get a couple pictures with Stanley but they weren't great.  I'd like a re-do if I could.
