My oldest did Math, Latin, Spelling, McGuffey, Copybook, and made a cover for her Zoology notebook. My second daughter did a page in her math book, a page in her copybook, and practiced letters with me.
I looked up at the clock and it was 9:30 AM. I panicked a little, "What in the world will we do all day?" But it turned out great. We took a nice walk to the grocery store for stamps, leaving $41 poorer. (And getting three inquiring minds, "are they all yours?" To which my oldest asked me later, "Who's else would we be?" She wasn't being snide, she sincerely wondered. I do too sometimes).
We did some impromptu crafts which involved glue, glue, and more glue. This included the two year old --needless to say it went from the craft table to the bathtub. We read from the Golden Children's Bible outside and headed in for lunch.
Having decided yesterday that Tuesday afternoons will be for nature study, we headed out with all the fixins' (nature notebooks, crayons, Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day...) We strolled along the Red River until the heat forced us up a huge hill (me pushing the stroller from behind, oldest daughter pulling from in front) in search of the fountain. Feet and faces found their way to the water very quickly.
Off to Bridgeman's for ice cream we went. We did manage to read a little of Flying Creatures while at the park, but not much journaling got done.
A full day despite our early finish!
