On Monday we had our first chance to be with the boys. We thought we would have them for the morning and again in the afternoon, but Kim's practice session for her concert on Wednesday night went well so she was finished by noon. We got some games, homework, and reading done and were thinking about lunch, when we were relieved of duty. Kim took Jon to the urgent care and got medicine for his ear infection, which we found out when we came back by later to treat all to ice cream. Finally, we watched Star Wars IV, since we had heard that some of the films might have been made in Cappadoccia, Turkey. This one was not ,so much further research is necessary.
Tuesday arrived, and today would be our first complete day with the boys (9-6). We started by playing a rollicking game of Dominoes which requires some math skills unbeknown to the boys. Then school work in their practice books. Then we walked with a neighbor and two of her kids to a play session for children of Interlochen teachers. Kim met us, and we had lunch together, and we then walked home, read with the boys followed by quiet time, which resulted in naps for two little boys and one big one. HW2 blogged doing a thumbnail sketch of our trip and comments on taking care of the boys. After the naps we took the boys to a nearby playground, and now they are playing with neighborhood kids while HW2 gets dinner for them. Then it is home for us and Star Wars V.
