So, anyway, we have to get all our school work finished before we go up there. Sometimes we find we need to cut the day's work a little shorter than I would like.
So I have started to work our schedule around Wednesday afternoons a little better.
Maddie is taking an entrepeneur class at the Learning Center. She wants to start a dog walking business. As she is taking the class though, she is coming up with a lot more ideas for different ways she could make money. She's talked about decorating dog collars, because she likes to work with jewelry. Last night, we had friends come over and she discovered they liked her popcorn. So today as she was working on her homework for the class and she said, "Maybe I could sell my popcorn." I thought that was so cute. She wants to earn money so she can save up for a plane ticket to visit Bethany Wilson her friend (and adopted sister) in California.
Marcus is taking a woodworking class. He's is starting to get more enjoyment out of the class as he sees it all coming together. He's building what would be classified as an 1800's type doll house. It is giving him the insight on how a house is put together with framing and floors and such. He is finally working on the roof now. It's fun to hear him come home and tell me about what he will be doing to his house next. He will tell some that he doesn't like the class, but he is proud of what he has accomplished so far. That's a neat kind of satisfaction.
