What a Friday!

Hmmmm...guess I am posting tonight's photo because I am ready to sit down! I was looking through some of my pictures that I haven't sorted yet and came upon the pictures that I took while Cheryl was here on our trip to the James K. Polk home. This chair was one of the ones that Mrs. Polk used to furnish the White House. At the time of his administration, the furnishings that they supplied went back home with them. The Polk home in Columbia, TN has lots of original pieces that were in the White House...made it even more interesting since they weren't replicas. The children have been out at various times today...including their parents. Nathan came over this afternoon and we were talking about Osmo (what we gave Esther for her birthday...it works with my iPad). And, I mentioned that we could add Esther's spelling words into the word game that goes with it. So we worked for a while to figure out how to do it. We got nine of her twelve spelling words in along with pictures to go with them...took us a while to get it all figured out! Then he sent Esther over to play the word game with her spelling words. It worked great. After she played it a couple of times, she and I put the other three words in. She decided what to take a picture of and then she typed the spelling word in to go with that word. She said that it was fun. After she played it for a while with all twelve words in, I had her spell them outloud and then she wrote them and she did great. So the "plan" is that she will come over Sunday and put her next week's words in and decide what pictures to take, etc. so she can then practice her words each day next week. After that we had several in and out doing various things for most of the rest of the day till just a little while ago. Woody walked 12 miles this afternoon. He waited to walk as it has been a bit cool and breezy today. He is downstairs with something going on the TV and a book in his hand...doing what he says he doesn't do...multitasking. Now I am heading to a chair...but a more comfortable one than the one pictured tonight. I guess we are about to have frost on the pumpkins...as there is a frost advisory for tonight into the morning...it may get into the mid 30's. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!And, it is supposed to be even colder tomorrow night. Guess it is good that he got a replacement for our outside digital thermometer...that way we can keep a closer eye on the temperatures.
