Week 10

 Monday - We are still in Midland waiting for Mike to finish hunting. I packed the kids school work so we didn't lose a day. The kids had fun reading to my mom's stray cats.  Maddy wanted to even do her math outside with the cats.  We also went for a walk and played several games together.  It was nice not to lose a day of school and we still had time to enjoy being with family. I love the flexibility that homeschooling gives us.

Friday -  We worked on school and cleaned the house.  It was a nice day so we picked up pizza and ate it at the park.  After school was over we met friends at a different park to play.  Then we picked up tacos at Adobe.  In the evening we had virtual game night.  It was a really good day.
