Call Day #131, 9/15/15

Just another school day this morning. Claire practices handwriting.

Oliver shows off the track Eleanor built for him this morning.

And listens while Claire reads to him. This was after she'd already read to me as part of her school for the day. She got a new pile of easy reader books from the library yesterday and was enjoying them.

We released two butterflies this morning, having raised them from caterpillars off of Nanny's herbs.

They didn't fly away quickly so we sat around and waited. Claire volunteered to read to everyone.

The girls went to Nanny's house to do their art and French lessons. Oliver and I went to Sam's. Oliver likes getting a "smile face" on the receipt as we leave.

When we got home he started trying on Erik's shoes. This was one of many pairs he modeled for me.

He found Claire's missing hamper (behind the brown chair in the living room--things end up in such weird places) and used it as a hoop to play with his new little basketball.

This afternoon the Carnahans came over. We did a science lesson and they stayed for dinner. Fun way to end the day when both fathers are away.
