Clean-up was a bit more tiring, we ended up giving a Sundrop for every 20 logs stacked. (We have started giving Sundrops at breakfast for anyone that is dressed to their toes with their bed made and jammies hung on the hook. Also, it is a reward for various virtuous acts performed throughout the day. When our Sundrop jar is filled we will go on an adventure of mom and dad's choosing: a beach trip, or an ice cream trip, or picnic at the park, etc...) We had everything picked up a little before noon and had an early lunch then naps for the younger ones.
During naps I did some planning for this coming school year and I'm sooo excited about what we will be doing. Last night we ordered some books from Queen Homeschool and Sonlight that look very inspiring and delightful! I am looking forward to another formal year of schooling.
Back to our project. Our next step was landscaping blocks. Hmmmm. We decided not to go to Home Depot but decided to go to a block company. We found and ordered some gorgeous block that will be delivered on Friday.
In the evening Joe went to a school board meeting, hoping to witness a confirmation of a new charter school his boss was hoping to open in the fall. There was a "Nay" vote, for no apparent valid reason.
Tomorrow will begin Project Day Four...

Hey I like the sundrop idea, I wish mom did that with us when we performed various "virtuous acts"...hmmm...what did we get--spinach? :) oh, hi mom. :)
Hey Joe and Carrie, The home improvement looks great. We've had fun cutting down trees in our Minnesota forest a few times already. I hope to check up on you each month. : ) Love, Kelly for the Hollman boys
