Our co-op got canceled due to illness, so what does that mean for our school day? The kids thought it would a GREAT idea to completely SKIP school! (But what kid wouldn't?) I chose a mini-day instead. The big kids did their Math assignments and took Grammar tests. Now, everyone is playing before lunch, and there is much rejoicing! It's great to see how easily entertained everyone is when the schedule is disrupted this way...the two littlers have put down pillows and blankets on the floor and are "reading" books (like Katarina does before bed) and pretending to nap. Nice! I like this activity! ;)
As for the biggers, Katarina is whipping through her latest book, "Peter and the Sword of Mercy." She is hoping her cousin, Avery, has not read this yet so she can surprise him with it. It's a pretty new release, so it's quite possible he hasn't read it. Dane is in the Lego room. He sure likes his Legos. In fact, he told me he was hoping to receive MORE Legos for Christmas. (MORE LEGOS???) Apparently, one can never have enough Legos. Especially if one is a boy.
We get to have pizza night at the Hess house tonight. That hasn't happened in awhile--we are all thrilled! I remember when I met Sally and marveled at her 5-kid family...well, now they have added a 6th, but somehow, we've almost caught up. (And there is NO need for us to "catch up"--it's just a phrase). So it's fun to spend time with them, although they have asked me to bring only ONE ingredient, as is typical. I tried to remind Sally that I have many children now too and should bring more food, but she insisted. So Canadian Bacon I will bring.
Okay, time to get back to enjoying my kids and our mini-day!
Next time co-op is canceled, give us a call ;o) Have a fabulous weekend!
