Wednesday

It's Ruby's birthday!  Golda served her breakfast in bed, then family scripture study before she started on her practicing.  She was ready to go at 9, with 30 minutes of guitar done.  She's trying to finish everything by 2 so Scott can take her to lunch.  I drilled her on her spelling and vocabulary list while she did her hair and Xanthe's hair.  As Ruby spelled the words, Xanthe kept throwing letters out there.  "X!  What about X?  Don't forget B!  Bu bu bu B!!!"  Yeah, I don't know how people homeschool a bunch of kids at the same time.  We're trying cutting creative writing down to 3 days a week to fit more in.  Ruby tested herself on the Europe map and looked up definitions for all of her spelling words, then went to math at school.

For the afternoon, she is going to finish her math homework, do half of her reading, look through two books on Picasso and take notes for her biography, and finish her last 30 minutes of practicing.  25, since it's her birthday.  :)  That will give her time to go to lunch with Scott, make her favorite, chicken piccata, for dinner, meet with the Beehive leader (!!) and go to jazz tonight, without having to worry about homework.  Happy birthday, Ruby!!
