12/19/08

Today we took the day off and went to "town" for holiday groceries. Also our Bishop asked us to provide Christmas for a local family and so we went Christmas shopping for them. The kids thought that it was fun shopping for some kids they know in our town. I went visiting teaching this morning before we left. We also ate lunch out with Alex. It was a nice day.

We plan on doing mom school on Monday and Tuesday next week and a couple of days the week after. So we figured it was okay to "ditch" today.

I also told the kids not to worry about doing anything for "school" today. Olivia asked if she could still do her math and grammar. And what do you say to that? So she did math lessons 73 and 74. (two no less) She also did her grammar. She read for over an hour also out of Work and Glory #3. Jared also read his Book of Mormon reader.

We listened to some Bible history in the car for the two hours of driving. We enjoyed a library movie and root beer floats this evening.

Right now with Christmas and all, it's still a learning experience for kids to help with service and other things around the house. This lets them see how life really is and not always book work. They need to know how to take care of a home and not just do a job.
