Afternoon/Evening...

We did get six more squares done for our history quilt.
Bus Boycott & Israel's formation
Vietnam war (wall) & School Integration Moon Exploration & Ummm Stacia's square

Stacia explains to me HOW a paint marker got in her hand and HOW she ended up with such pleasantly pink lips!
Josiah got home from work and suggested taking the three middle children (Arielle, Nolan and Zander) to the movies. The thought was that Stacia and I could nap. What a great idea! Turned out Zander opted to stay home....and then changed his mind after they left....leading to great lamenting...leading to Stacia waking up....
I fixed meatloaf and grilled some corn on the cob, answered a few phone calls, read SHS mail, collected a few baskets for tomorrow. The rest of night we'll read a chapter for Jamin's book, set up co-op tables and baskets and finish up the co-op newsletter.....

Thank goodness it wasn't pink permanent marker :-) Sierra has a thing for permanent markers . . I keep hiding them but she keep finding them!

We're so glad we have such awesome and great grandkids. They never cease to amaze us. Love the expression on Stacia's face as she explains to you. :)

This afternoon around 95% of the school will be out in the community doing things to help out, (Day of Caring). All kinds of hings and all kids of places. It is a fun day and it generally is only freshmen who decide helping others is not their thing..... that is until they realize they are missing out on a lot of fun and have to stay in class and do work. :)
