Today Keith read to the kids about American history... Cimeron did a page in her spelling book... so did Aaron. Cimeron spent most of her math time sending me messages on the Yahoo Messenger. At first I thought that would be a good idea, but she spent so much time playing with YM she didn't get much math work done. She's on the Cost of Driving page of the Trips website - it looks easy to me but she's resisting it now.
Aaron and I have been studying madrone berries, and he is making garlands of them for the Christmas tree this year. I asked Cimeron to harvest the seeds from the inside of the berries... for trading with other seed harvesters. She has a natural love for tearing such things apart. It is raining heavy outside today, but Cimeron and Aaron are going outside to gather more madrone berries for his garlands.
