Dreaming

After breakfast, pet jobs and lounging in PJ's until 10ish, some reading aloud was done. I read a chapter from Family Under the Bridge and a chapter of Story of the World 2.

While reading, Mackenzie continued with her swirly picture, colouring it in with Sharpies. She likes their vibrancy and strength.

Owen worked in his drawing book, he's been dreaming of fishing.



Hanna worked on her drawing/sketching pad for a while.

After Owen finished his picture, he played with Geomags. When Hanna finished her drawing, she joined him. They made shapes which turned into a race tracks with a car.

During the reading, many discussions flowed as per usual. In Family Under the Bridge the word francs posed questions which led to listing off all the different currencies they could think of. They want to know more about world currencies so we'll try and find a good book that has pictures too. Other topics discussed: bards, Britain, France, England, Celts, Beowulf, Seine River, "where would homeless Armand have collected his 'scraps of food'?".



Once the reading was over, Owen's dream to go fishing came true.



Before Owen went to get his filling done at the dentist, they went fishing with their dad.



Mackenzie caught a big one and they marked its length on the net.



Since they do "catch and release type" fishing they wanted to take pictures, make markings on the net to

record the size, and then get out the measuring tape ~ 16.5 inches!

The fishers were hungry for a snack and then it was time to video game with Dad. After dinner tonight, it's American Idol.
