in case you were wondering...

Gracy, Maggie & Ben definately kept busy today. Math was not a big hit this morning. Maggie pretended to not remember how to divide 3 into 6
while Gracy claimed she was "too bored" to do her math.

I went out to www.bn.com today and printed off a few forms for thier summer book program. For every 8 books the kids read and log they can get one book free. And my mom said there was no such thing as free lunch!

After homework was finally finished, we went to a nature preserve that's just 3 miles from our house & did the one mile trail. Leave it to Maggie to wear a skirt & flip flops on the trails! Near the pond we saw a few holes with crayfish bones laying near it. Being the pathetic city-folk that we are, we decided we should take off before we found out what kind of animal it was that dug the holes. We saw a ton of dragonflies, one even landed on Maggie's arm.

After supper, Cherie took the kids to a work sponsored event. They walked one mile, got free ice cream, and walked a mile back. (That's a total of 3 miles of walking for them today!) After the walk and ice cream they went to a baseball game. Maggie hasn't stopped telling me I should really go to a baseball game sometime soon. Apparently it was a hit! And in case you were wondering....yes, that bullfrog's name is Jeremiah.
