11/11/08: Eruption

Today Mom School lasted 3 1/2 hours. Lots of reading! They didn't want me to stop. They are still in the baking mood. They both wanted to make cookies today. We also started attending a 6 week community music class. I am going to be the pianist for it. Inspire not require right! Jared didn't want to sing. So he played on the play ground. The other 3 participated though.
