Keira was up first this morning, folding and sorting laundry. She has been wearing Iria's sweater and spraying on her perfume to keep her in mind the best that she can.
Kassidy was another early riser, but not as helpful. She is usually a grump in the morning, so that wasn't too surprising.
Eggo waffles for breakfast- always a treat for the kids that Iria never buys.
I mixed Iria's multigrain waffles in with them, so they will never know the difference :)
The kids started with math this morning. Lennon is doing work that is beyond my ability to help him, but at least I can still act smart around the others.
And what is in that box? Tuesday's mystery school project, which has been driving the kids crazy.
For today's project, we learned how to write a composition paper which presents an opinion.
I had Keira watch the Disney "Little House on the Prairie" movie and argue whether or not it was faithful to the books.
The boys watched "300", and then wrote about how faithful it was to the real history.
Here is Keira's report.
I had her redo the introduction, but still, a great first effort!
Kassidy watched a documentary on baby koala's and wrote about those instead.
Katharine and I snuck in an orthodontist checkup while the kids were watching their movies.
Back home, with Ramen noodles for lunch.
I lived on these things in college; and the kids would live on them as well if we let them.
We talked to Iria after lunch. She arrived safely and made friends with some baby goats at her sister's farm.
After lunch I dropped Keira and Katharine off at the gas station car pool meetup spot for dance. Funny thing is that there were a few other cars there also carpooling kids to other locations. The back of that gas station is quite the hot spot.
Lennon then had soccer practice with Coach Che.
The team had a rough Spring season, with the coach saying that he will only invite around half the players back.
Lennon is one of the lucky few, so that will be one less thing to worry about this Spring.
Keep on climbing, kid!
After that I picked up the girls at dance.
Chicken Masala and cheese sticks for dinner.
Keira always goes to bed first.
Tonight she was still wearing Iria's sweater, and was also clutching a photo of her.
It was Kassidy's turn for our bed tonight.
Katharine played some Overwatch while the boys and I watched Episode 2 of "Lost in Space".
Once the boys were in bed, Katharine came down for a piece of pie and some John Oliver.
Finished up page 40 of 70.
Good night!
