The fifth graders at the school had colonial day. They spent the whole day learning about and doing activities done by the people in colonial America. I took the day off work and went and helped. I taught the colonial games of cat's cradle and hopscotch. The kids also made candles, butter, hats, and many other activities. It was followed by a lunch of beef stew, rolls, and pies.
Ever notice how in every family there's usually one person who is shockingly normal? We should get ourselves one of those.

Ethan loved it as well. However I am not sure I like his candle - he came home and lit it and it sparked and burnt a hole in my rug. Luckily it was in my room, the one carpet that will have to be replaced and is why we have a carpet allowance.
You are so good to help out. Bet Andrew enjoyed having you there - even if he wouldn't say so.
