-Circle time.
-practiced memory passage. Reviewed passages already memorized.
-Astrid completed 13 pages in her new reading workbook. Muirgen completed two pages in a shapes and colours workbook.
-Girls helped hang up laundry.
-Girls built boats out of lego, held an imaginary wedding (we just found out Jason's sister plans to get married next fall and would like Astrid to be the flower girl) played with the doll house, played Mommy (carrying babies in slings, changing their diapers, etc) played on the swingset, drew pictures on the sidewalk with chalk.
-Had a conversation about weather and how the clouds and rain move from one place to another. (It was rainy and wet when we got up, but soon the sun was shining and it turned into a very nice day).
-Had a conversation about tithing: what it is, why we do it, etc.
-At dinner we all shared stories about funny things we've done or that have been done by people we know. All of Astrid's stories were about Muirgen.
-Girls watched Jason repair a broken step on our porch.
-Read a chapter of 'Charlotte's Web'.
-Read a counting book to Muirgen which is her current favourite. She can count up to ten now, but often says eleven instead of seven.
-Rhymes and songs at bedtime.
