Woody started out the day quite early as he had an early appointment at his dermatologist's. He had several precancerous places on his face that had to be frozen.
While he was still gone, I got underway with school. We had a fairly normal Thursday, though a couple of them missed their reading times. Thursday is "Osmo Day" for Joseph. He gets to play the educational games on my iPad after he does his reading lesson and a math lesson. Isaac joined him half-way through so they could play together. Isaac had his long time. Today I taught him how to seam two pieces of cloth together. He came up with the idea that they could be turned into a pocket and I told him that they could become a small pillow. He decided that he wanted a project to stuff so chose the pillow. It is quite small as you can see in the photo. I didn't realize that it was going to become a project when I cut the narrow strip for him to sew a seam in! Since it became a pillow, we can call it his first completed sewing project! Probably one of many!
The phone rang just as he was finishing up with turning it inside out. I heard the message and it was a friend who was going to drop by with some fresh veggies. She came just a few minutes later and we sat on the front porch and visited for a while. Woody had been gone to get the oil changed in the Fusion and also made a grocery stop at Aldis. He got home and joined us on the front porch. We had a nice visit. During her visit Goosey (Woody) discovered a toad on a tree that Isaac was leaning against. The toad was entertainment for a while for the children and Peaches, Esther's cat! As my friend was leaving our good friends the Hasty's drove up. They were dropping off some tickets for "the neighbors" (Nathan, Kathy and family). Again, we visited for a few minutes and made some plans to get together later in the week. All during these visits Isaac was checking to see if it was time for him to stuff his pillow. We did get the pillow stuffed and I got a picture before he had to leave for juggling practice. Can you tell he likes blue? The pillow and his shirt are a very close match! This afternoon I talked with Cheryl, my sister, for quite a while. We hadn't talked in a while so had quite a bit to catch up on! To sum up my day = a visiting day! Woody continues to weed and mulch in spare moments. Now we're off to the ball games!
