Mischief night
I spent some time this afternoon working in the yard after studies. I love yard work. There is something very therapeutic about it. I had planned to cover more academics this evening, but those plans were interrupted by my kids preparing for mischief night. Our neighborhood trees tend to get rolled with toilet paper by teenagers, so my kids wanted to be ready for them. They dressed in all black, planted themselves in the yard, and had water guns to spray the potential intruders. Since it’s now bedtime for my children, I’ve been given instructions to be on the look-out for the rollers.
Tomorrow is Halloween, so that means dress-up and candy for my crew. Hopefully, I can have a productive academic day in the midst of the excitement.
Bath time with baby wipes
Just finished roasting marshmallows by the fire. Still without power from the hurricane. Our studies are continuing by candlelight. No sense wasting valuable time. We will have to resort to using our friends’ showers tomorrow if power is not restored. Until then we are using baby wipes.
