Another sick day

On Wednesday Ammon threw up again so he stayed home. Clarissa went to school and so did Mary, but Lydia woke up with a flaming red throat and a sore stomach, so she was home too.

Ammon busied himself continuing his Coco inspired banners. The banner turned out beautifully!

Abe spent some time with Ammon letting Ammon show him his process for making his creative cutouts.
Clarissa was thrilled to join in on the crafting action when she came home.
Abe did Clarissa’s reading lesson while I worked with the kids on their music. At one point Clarissa was supposed to be reading “mud,” but she was only making the “m” sound. Abe kept encouraging her to finish the word and she got confused and started crying. This is her asleep after the effort of learning to read.

I made a pumpkin lasagna with fontina béchamel sauce and some salad for dinner. I think I also did some laundry and started listening to Barbara Kingsolver’s book, Demon Copperhead, which is amazing.
