Art: Olivia hosted another art class. It lasted two hours and they made all sorts of messes. To answer a question posted: I do not participate and I do not go in the room while they are mess making. I'm not allowed in the room until it's all cleaned up. I do not like art, nor will I ever. I do not like the mess and I do not want to see the mess. They know how to help me keep smiling and they do a very good job cleaning up. Olivia did a good job though because Jared made art mess for the whole two hours with them. He tends to prefer to have nothing to do with art. Mmmm. I wonder where he gets that from.
Chores

Olivia: Read 1/2 of Common Sense by Thomas Paine, looked up 10 words from her readings, hosted art class, Peterson's word of the day, blogging, she was a babysitter in the children's class for Enrichment tonight, watched part of Cranfield (based on a classic novel) and read her scriptures.

Jared: Practiced the piano, went to piano lessons, mowed part of the lawn, made pancakes (this seems to be a reoccurring theme-they are trying all sorts of different recipes out at lunch), watched a Bill Nye the Science guy video, played in a baseball game and read his scriptures.

Luke: He drew and colored most of the day, watched a science video with Jared, mowed part of the lawn with Alex, played in a baseball game, and read his scriptures.

Caleb: Watched the science video, played in a t-ball game and was a happy guy.

To Show Parent Core/Love of Learner/Scholar here are some things we modeled to the children today...
Deanna: Scriptures, journal, word of the day, practiced the piano, reading in The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides, worked on Greek pronunciation and taught an enrichment lesson.
Alex: Scriptures, word of the day, went to the temple, went to work, listening to The Great Improvisation, listening to Master and Commander, worked on Greek pronunciation, and helped coach a baseball game in my place since I was at Enrichment.
