-The girls worked on their memory verses.
-We locked ourselves out after going to buy milk and bread and had to treck about the neighbourhood to track down a key to our house.
-They played with paper dolls and other things. They pretended to be Laura and Mary Ingalls dealing with a pack of wolves. Astrid set up a tea party.
-Yesterday at the "Green Up" festival we ran into our friend, Andrew and he gave the girls a book called "50 Things Kids Can do to Save the Planet" We read some of it. We are already doing most of what we read today, but we learned some interesting new things. The girls, for example, were very surprised to learn that glass is made out of sand. And we were all surprised to find out how much energy is saved by recycling since you usually just hear about how recycling is not such a good idea since it uses so much energy.
-I read the girls a chapter of "Little House on the Prairie" and the rest of the section on baby animals and the section on Spring planting in "A Pioneer Story".
-They played outside.
