I had a long list of office work that needed to be done today, the kids still feeling blah, so we had another gentle day, only doing what was really important.

The kids cleaned the car, inside and out which was long overdue.
The older two photocopied their math and science to take away with us next week.
Nomi made two beautiful cards with a card kit she received for her birthday

The best part of the day was our read aloud time.  Friday is usually our movie night but because the cricket was on we expected to be watching that, or reading a book as we ate dinner.  But it was decided – unanimously – to go ahead with our read aloud instead.  Our normal reading of 2-3 chapters kept going and going until we read about 7 chapters and finished the book!  It is going to be hard to find another book as our next read aloud!  I think I’ll leave the weekend without starting a new book, just to savour the story the little bit more!
