Pay off

Everett walked into the kitchen yesterday asking if or when he would attend the nearby school. I have soft talk my answer in the past, but this time I just said "No". Evie guessed at the reasoning "Because they don't get to praise God". I completely agreed and added that they don't get to go to grandma's in the middle of the day, go on frequent "field trips", cuddle and cook with mom this much, attend mid day soccer, enjoy parks when they are not crowded to have play days and such. "Oh" he said happy with our plan. So following that, we went to a garage sale and were able to take a trunk load of free clothes to our church for the homeless. We later joined some friends at a park to play prior to a tagging along on a boy scout hike (Evie asked when he would be getting his suit, otherwise known as a scout uniform. In about 300 sleeps sweetheart). Sounds like a good date at school to me. :)

So today started with hot waffles, a walk with Tegan, Ken, Max and Jake (Ken is our neighbor friend, Max and Jake are Tegan's), a by-chance pick up of materials for our craft fair (teasing you I know. . . you have to come) and a road trip to Target to solve the problem of the money burning in Everett's pocket. Everett has been receiving an allowance lately. He has shown GREAT maturity in managing his money recently. Store after store Evie either could not afford or chose not to get something. He saved enough to buy this Lego set this week. Everett spent his school time assembling it . . . ALL BY HIMSELF! He flowed the directions, fine motored it perfect, and even took this picture.
We finished our school time by making brownies for daddy. Hope you guys had a great day at school.
