A Different Kind of Day

Today I needed a change. We had been in the house most of the week and I was getting cabin fever. So I decided to take school on the road. We all got up and out the door early and went to morning mass at St. Margarets. Grandma met us there and then she took Emily and Amber to her house. Emily took her school work with her and Grandma helped her get it done. Christopher got some alone time with mom which we both love. After going to the gym for a quick workout we went to Olive Garden for lunch. That was a nice treat. Then we stopped at Target so he could spend his Target gift cards he got for his birthday. The last stop was Starbucks. We both got a Grande Chai Tea and settled down to do school work there. Christopher worked on his math lesson learning adding and subtracting fractions. It was pretty easy for him. Then we did a Latin hangman and crossword puzzle together. We also corrected his rough draft paper he is writing about some frogs and Zeus. We are studying Ancient Greece right now so it all ties in. Then he took his dreaded Verb test. Grandma brought the girls home shortly after me and Christopher got home and we ended our fun adventures with the girls riding there bikes around the block a few times enjoying the nice fall weather. So overall it was a great day!
