A day when mom’s away

March 9, 2018 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

Today I had a whole bunch of work to do out of the house.

I conferred with my lad this morning over the tasks he would complete over the day.   I wasn’t sure what time I would be back, but trusted him to get things done while Dad got a few things done around the house.

Before I left my lad volunteered to shovel the drive and bring in the garbage bins.   He was so quick about it I couldn’t get a pic of working away.  He did a good job too.   The selfish part of me, as I got into the car was thinking, “I have to teach that boy to clean off the cars too!”  Yeah… I know!  Selfish!A homeschooling day when Mom's Away

Anyways, I headed out to do the work I had to get done, leaving my lad heading into “build a cat toy that bounces” for his “build something or tear it apart time”.

He didn’t quite succeed in making a cat toy that bounces but he built a toy that intrigued Milo a lot and Lizzie a wee bit.

 

and Here’s Miss Lizzie, sorry for the occasional poor video quality.  She wasn’t quite as certain as Mr. Milo.

He washed some fleece blankets for me as well.  He was supposed to dry them as well… but.. making this got into his mind instead.

And for a Do it Differently Friday I think he managed to keep himself pretty busy.
