Slow Day

Today was mostly slow and relaxing.  I was reading a book off and on throughout the day.  Juno and Freyja spent time doing some drawing and cutting.  When I saw what they had done, it was really cute.  They made paper "laptop" computers, so that when you opened the folded paper there was a screen (with a drawing on it- notice the cursor) and a hand drawn keyboard.  They have done this before now and one can  make requests of the subject matter of the drawing.  I think Juno made about four of these today, and Freyja made one.


For the game today, I played War with Freyja for a little while.  We didn't finish the game or anything, but I also had her practice addition when we would throw our cards down.  It was awesome, because she did not even complain about doing the adding.  Score!  Juno read for a while on her own and Freyja read a book to me.  They also spent about 45 minutes outside in the sunshine playing some sort of mysterious game of pretend.  Later on, they played with our housemates' kids and with their big sister, Ereshkigal.


Early in the day, the girls both watched some television.  We have Netflix which is great for homeschooling.  We chose to start a new documentary series called Discover Planet Ocean.  They watched episodes one and two this morning.  They also watched part of a documentary on wild cats which was called  Wild African Cats- Wild Cats, but which contained wild cats which were not African also.  Most notably, it had a short segment on Scottish Wild Cats.  We thought they were really adorable.  Evidently they are around 15 pounds and very fierce, but they look like house kitties.


Tonight, the girls are listening to an audio book on CD for bedtime.  They have been listening to The Mysterious Benedict Society for about a week now.  There are a lot of CDs since it is a long book.  Okay, well, time for me to get to sleep also.  Sweet dreams, people.
