The girls really had a good month. They spent most of the month in OH, returning home on the 21st. Autumn did a great job keeping up with the hours of school that they put in as well as giving any help they needed. She also took them on several field trips. They went to the art museum, the Air Force museum, the Presidential Annex, a paper making class, and to see a movie. They also had the opportunity to attend youth group with Songbird and participate in a few service projects. They took the opportunity to honor Mr.D on Veteran's Day by making a center piece for the table and expressing their gratitude for his service to our country. While they were there, they each received a hair cut from Nano and both of them were able to complete a sewing project. This was a blessing because I am not good at sewing. The week they returned home was designated as a week off from school, knowing it would take some time for them to rest up, get unpacked, and settle back in to life at home. In addition to that, it was Thanksgiving week. On Wednesday, they did most of the prep work for making Thanksgiving dinner and on Thursday they cooked the meal with minimal help from me. FigNewTon jumped right back in to her volunteering schedule at the library. The following week, Butterfly was sick and was not able to accomplish much school work. We are all looking forward to a more normal school schedule in the weeks ahead.
