Two days without school

Today was day two of Joshua off from school.  We got up early for an adventure to Lowes before dawn to be back in time for Mr. John to lay the tile.  On the way to Lowes, Joshua being the good little environmentalist that he is said, "Wasting candy is not good for the environment."  Um...Ok?  "So we should eat it."  Ah, I see.  Joshua, you are still only going to earn one piece of candy for every three good things I catch you doing AND I bet you will be done with all your candy before it goes bad :-)

Mira had school today, which she LOVES and Mr. Mike was there from the library to read stories.  The children adore him.

Evie and Josh had a playdate in the morning while Mira was at school with our neighbors Sarah and James.  Then in the afternoon, Mira and Josh had a playdate with Annabel who came over with her mom.  They all ran and played and laughed all day.  It was a good day to be a kid today.

We had dinner at Cyndi's as usual and hung out until the kids needed to go to bed.

All three children seem to be catching on that when they are helpful and well behaved, they get what they want.  Candy is a great motivator!
