-Astrid completed 9 pages in her math workbook. I've been encouraging her lately to read some of the instructions herself - usually just a key word or two in each scentence. I've been finding this quite successful because she loves working on math so much that if reading is going to help her do it, then read she will.
-We walked to church to deliver some of the girl's art work which will be put into an exhibit of work by the children of Next. Spent some time visiting with Pam and Al.
-The girls had great fun crunching along in the piles of leaves at the side of the road on the way home.
-They helped me clean the third floor, which currently has no one living on it, but will in a week or so.
-Astrid dressed up and made up little skits ("shows") for Muirgen. Muirgen is the perfect audience, laughing at all the right spots, acting scared when she's supposed to, etc. Not to mention, she'll watch for ages.
-They played with the Noah's ark set and various other things.
-They helped me make brie cheese in puff pastry for supper. Astrid declared that it's her favourite food on earth - even better than all the desserts!
-Read a chapter of 'The Trumpet of the Swan'.
