Fun Day

We had a fun day today. I don't wish to be eloquent about it, just let you know what we are up to these days. I'd love for Trey to stop crying and let me take a quiet, relaxing bath. For now, that's not happening. Almost every Thursday my Dad comes into town to watch Trey so I can spend the day gallavanting around Columbia/Lexington with the girls to our various activities. Almost every Thursday night, Trey has a hard time going to bed. I think we've figured out that he just wants to stay up and see Mommy- since Daddy usually also has activities on Thursday nights.

Today we went to the Lexington County Museum with our homeschool group. The museum was doing a tour to specifically discuss quilting, along with the other items from the 1800's. It was wonderful. The kids enjoyed it, although it was 2.5 hours long. We went into a one room cabin (home to 14 children and 2 adults in the mid 1800's) as well as the larger home with separate rooms, a separate building for a kitchen, the privy (outhouse), chicken coop, smokehouse, etc.
The kids made their own little quilts from felt and also did a model of one on paper. We learned that quilts were used by the slaves to communicate plans of escape. Very cool!

After the field trip,we headed on to dance, where both girls are students. I took a picture of Sarah, to the left and I don't feel like taking the time to figure out how to rotate it... so just rotate your head to see Sarah and her friend before class. If I have a chance I'll post one of Hannah, too. Her hand and foot are healing nicely and she was able to participate in class today (without hose ofcourse but she did well!)
