Yesterday was the first day that JC and HT had any real homework. I have yet to see JR do any homework, but I'm being assured that is because he's getting it done after school while waiting for my husband to bring him home. That must be true, because nothing is missing in the grade book.
Anyway, before my husband had gone back to work we had purchased some new furniture. It was a new side table for our love seat, and a new desk and stool to go in our living room. We bought them at the unfinished furniture store, and that was largely how they remained....unfinished. It was the next day that my dad went into the hospital and the day after that my husband started back to work and well, life just happened. He worked almost all of Saturday though, and was able to get them done. Sunday afternoon JC had insisted that the desk be brought up and put in its new place. She knew yesterday would be her first day of homework and she wanted a place to work. Previously they had worked at the dining room table, but this desk is all their own, and it will have a laptop which they are allowed to use after we figure out how to block pretty much everything. :) Anyway, JC walked in yesterday and sat right down. She was so pleased to be working on her homework. She didn't even have a snack. She just wanted to work.
And HT? He definitely needed a snack first. Afterward, I reminded him he had homework and he explained that Sissy was using the desk so he would have to wait. I initially thought that he was just excited to use the desk and didn't want to deprive him, so I didn't push it. However, when JC was finished and I told HT it was time to get started, he announced, "I can't wait for homework to be over for the year." Oh boy, I think we are in for a long year!
