The workmen completed our new deck today, and school went out the window. I'd been telling the boys for the last two weeks that they couldn't go out back until it was done. Seconds after the men left, the boys were out running their trucks up and down the new wood.
I recognize that physical activity is essential for Samuel. During the interim, we had been going out front so he could do his handwriting with chalk. (Making large letters apparently stimulates a different part of the brain than the tiny handwriting we do on paper and helps, in the long run, with letter formation.) He and his brother also worked out their energy running up and down the walk with their wagon.
We did get history, science, and math done today. And we should find some time for reading, which is something that I love doing with the boys any day.

Isn't that just a boy thing to do!
I hope you have had a good week and now a restful weekend.
