It's Definitely Monday!

Sarah and Joseph are feeling better...but not looking better. They did some school work today.

We did our read alouds--Abraham Lincoln's World, Story of the World book 4, and Across Five Aprils. Abraham Lincoln's World talks about what is happening all around the world during the time of Abraham Lincoln's life. He is 3yo right now (1812). Story of the World also tells what is happening around the World at a specific time. We are at 1853. I was supposed to read Abraham Lincoln's World over the summer, but we were a bit too busy to actually all be home at the same time. We should finish Abraham Lincoln's World before Thanksgiving. We started Across Five Aprils today. It sounds like a book we will like. It is about a boy who is 9yo when the Civil War starts and ends up having to take care of his family while the men fought the war (I think).

We set up a schedule for cooking meals last night. Stephen cooked breakfast, Jessi is cooking lunch (right now), and Shane will cook dinner. We are preparing for me to go to work. Stan needs someone to help him full time for one month, but they couldn't find anyone to take the job. His boss is willing to pay $15 an hour since they can't find anyone. We decided to see if I could be hired (there are nepotism policies). It would give us some Christmas money and pay off a few bills. We should hear back today if it will happen and if it does I will start work tomorrow.

Well, the kids quieted down, so I guess I should check on them. They have been coming down to tell me all the loving (un) brotherly things they have been doing to each other for the last half hour.
