I woke up....

I woke up this morning to a clean kitchen and a note from one of the girls. "I cleaned the kitchen last night. I hope you like it. Love, C.H.A" Sure enough, she had put away the dishes, cleaned Baby L's bottles, wiped the counters and table, and swept the floor. She did all of it without being asked. She has such a servant's heart.

Today was another good day of school. I don't know if the girls are learning anything, but I am.

K was the first one awake and wanted to go wake the girls up so badly; he really enjoys them being here. I asked him to let them sleep a little longer, so he did, reluctantly. While they slept, we ate breakfast, got ready for the day, and did a little reading. K read his first sentence today. Albeit it was "Dot has a hat", but nonetheless, he read it all by himself. Those Bob Books are wonderful! No, he didn't sit in the chair for very long. He read on the couch, upside down, and in the chair. He was all over the place.

After school, the girls excitedly helped M outside with their beds. They were outside helping for 5 hours. They cut (sawed), glued, hammered, sanded, measured, trimmed, and caulked. When I left to go to a meeting at church, they were even doing fractions. Now that's a lesson!
