This morning I took Clarissa grocery shopping while Lydia and Mary stayed home working on Lydia’s insane school project and Ammon and Abe went to church. Ammon has been working really hard on his writing skills and took his writing book with him to church.
Then we can home and I prepped some lamb shanks for braising and made a lasagna with some of the leftover “pumpkin puke” (spaghetti squash with pesto) from yesterday’s Halloween lunch. We also attended a Zoom cradle ceremony for Melita, which was really beautiful.
Then everyone migrated outside. Abe had a call with his AXB friends, and then Mary, Lydia and Abe worked hard on the pine needles project–for literally hours. I took the computer out there to catch up on back blogging in the sunshine and played a game with Mary that she and Lydia had invented with Mary’s addition machine.
In a little bit I am going to visit my mom and bring her some stuff. And then we’re hoping to not be up until midnight wiping down pine needles. I seriously question this project and am starting to think Lydia must have misunderstood what she was supposed to do.
