Friday!!  Hooray for Friday!  And tomorrow Aunt Erin arrives!  We are all excited to see her.  A couple packages arrived today from her and everyone is curious about what they contain, but we can't open them till she gets here! 

This morning James came in to say hello and we visited a while.  He had to check out my clock and tablet.  We did a puzzle on the tablet till it got boring. 

 Then after breakfast he was interested to see some motorcycle videos.  I'm learning some things about motorcycles. 

Before school Robert was lying on the couch and James went up to him with a book and said, read a me?  And Robert told him, I can't aksully read but we can look at pictures together.  What a sweet brother! 

Robert and Alice went off to school this morning but Robert's teacher called a little later and said he wasn't feeling well.  Susan went to get him and he came home and went straight to bed and slept for 3 hours.  He was mostly tired.  No recurring sickness.  That's a wonderful thing.  He and Alice had stayed up late playing after they went to bed and he got up really early this morning.  He should feel better tomorrow. 

Susan went out and bought a few postpartum clothes that she needed after Matthew was fed.  While she was gone Matthew slept and James watched Curious George.  

The neighbor came over to visit with Susan and see the baby after school.  She brought her two children too and Alice had a good time with Naomi helping her do her chores.  Chores can be fun when there's help and company.  

And tonight was movie night!  When the kids do all their chores during the week and Alice practices the piano, they get to choose a movie.  We saw Cinderella and it was lots of fun for them to laugh at the mice and it was very romantic.  Susan and Bobby said that after Alice saw it the first time when she was about 5 she was enthralled with the romance of it.  It was a good end to a pleasant day.
