I declared this morning that we were taking the day off from "schooling"! This announcement was met with great glee from N!

Actually, we're taking a day off from workbooks and worksheets. There's still plenty of learning going on around here! :)

N helped me mix up pancake batter and did all the measuring, as well as pulling out the ingredients, himself. All I had to do was pour and flip! The boys ate them up, but I'm wondering if my baking soda is old since they weren't very fluffy? My baking powder was just purchased, but I can't remember when I bought the baking soda. Maybe later we'll make some volcanoes and I'll test it.

C wrote out a "to-do" list for today and a separate grocery list. I like being able to dictate to him while I'm doing other things ;) It helps him practice writing and spelling as well.

We sorted laundry and got a load started. We gathered trash and got that to the curb. The boys dusted the living room and cleaned the mirrors in the bathrooms.

I need to feed L and then we're off to run errands. (library, grocery store, pick up our dog's ashes which have been sitting at the vet for WAY TOO LONG, bank, maybe haircuts)

Enjoy your Friday!!
