This Weekend

Yesterday:

• Homeschool Stations of the Cross— Kieron had fun but Aidan was uncomfortable.
• I timed Sean on several more dashes outside on the street –2 100 yds and a few 40 yrds.
• I fell asleep early!
• The guys watched Treasure of the Sierra Madre
• I spent some time with Brendan ordering library books for him — he wants 19th century adventures. I found The Black Arrow for him on our bookshelves so he has something to read.

That’s all I remember, so I see why I need to jot these things down quickly!
Today:

Aidan was quite a bit more comfortable. I think part of it was that we didn’t have any drinks he liked in the house, so his stoma did not leak as much. Hmm, dehydration or pain, take your choice.

Talked with Liam about symbolism in literature. Also about kids who are brought up to think “fairy stories” are useless like Eustace Scrubb in The VOyage of the Dawn Treader. The example Brendan used in his book is of a “Central Alliance” (a totalitarian government) who would cut down a giant sequoia.
The guys are now watching The Harvey Girls with Judy Garland.

I guess not much happened today either! Oh– Sean and Kevin went for a run, and I timed Sean some more.

Tomorrow:

We are going to be visiting grandma’s cabin higher up on the mountain and will be gone overnight.
