and that was only about 1 hour of the day!
The rest was filled with writing and taking pictures for our own book in Eric's style, filling our ant farm with dirt and ants, spelling tests and memory verses and a whole lot of after school fun.
All in all, a very busy day!
Now why in the world am I still up?
