Here was Tyler reading a book while Maddie and Wes were gone to Gainesville to take their tests to get the learner's permit. (Thank goodness they both passed!)  And Gracie, because she wouldn't let me post a picture of Peanut and not one of her!

Tyler ended up "unschooling" since his brother and sister were gone most of the day. (They did take books with them and do work while Tom visited a person in a nursing home AND they did some work when they got back). He read in Story of the World, looked up some information on Volcanoes, and watched a Nova presentation on the Periodic Table. That last one sounds boring but it was done in a hilarious way that taught you a lot.

I got my exercise and Bible time in and even took Tucker on a long walk this afternoon.  I also took the kids to Walmart to get a few things they needed. They're off to dinner and youth now and I'm about to leave for Women's Bible Study. All in all, it was a blessed day.
