If I could clone days like yesterday, I totally would. I had two happy, eager students who didn’t fight with each other and even ASKED me to continue reading aloud our current astronomy chapter on space rocks. (Comets are super exciting!) They finished their math efficiently and correctly, and for the win, they worked together on a crossword puzzle. Mine eyes have seen the glory of two brothers working in harmony.
Furthermore, they built a Lego city together last night with only mild bickering. Shock of all shocks. I assume our day of troubles was a necessary reset.
Part of me wonders if they were super sweet yesterday because Timmy was watching them from the bookshelf.
Creepy Timmy watches everything.
By the time school was over the boys had put on their costumes (Jackson as Captain America and Jeremy as a ninja) and ran outside to play. The school room/library/office had been abandoned, which left a quiet space for Salem to stretch out and relax. He usually hangs with us throughout the morning but he spent much of yesterday in hiding. I suppose he felt the tension of the week and didn’t want to participate.
Smart man.
Happy Weekend to you, and welcome, Butch Jones, to Vol Nation! All eyes are on you.
