Great day for schoolwork :)

Last night on the way to music class, my car lost power in the middle of the road :( Fortunately, it restarted and I got around the corner and into a neighborhood. The check engine light was on, so I called to see who could come help and dad was closest. He switched us cars so we could at least make it to the last half of music class (thank goodness!).

Today, he ran the code, found the problem and replaced a faulty sensor. The car is running great! But it's already 3 p.m. and we've missed Spanish, Kids' Club and Drama, unfortunately.

On the upside, though, we did manage to get a bunch of schoolwork done! We literally sat for 2 hours and did Science (finished up our weather chart and talked about the 5 senses; Maisie drew a picture of herself in her favorite weather: snow!), Writing (practicing numbers for Math), Math (we skipped ahead to lesson 9--place values tens and ones since the lessons were too boring for her), and now the kids are enjoying some cutting, pasting, and coloring time.

It's been a nice pleasant afternoon. I finished up some lesson plans and tomorrow we'll work on Geography, Writing Strands, and Art. I'm sad we missed our activities today, but relieved to get so much done.
