Connor was an altar server today at 8am Mass, which he enjoyed immensely. We also had "our babies" here today, which is always a challenge. I must say though, we are getting better at getting school work done in spite of all the distractions. In fact, Connor accomplished everything I had on his list and more. He read an entire book in one day (The Red Badge of Courage), played a geography game online, worked on his vocabulary words online, completed 5 math pages in his workbook, wrote an essay on the novel The Secret Garden, wrote more of his mystery story,and practiced Chinese. All this with a houseful of kids here. We also had Skylar and Chasen's siblings here, for a total of 4 visitors under the age of 8. Chaos seems to bring out the best in Connor. I'm exhausted though.
