It's warming up here in WV. It's actually warm enough to walk to the library... if it weren't raining! Ugh! My books are overdue again. Two weeks just isn't long enough when you live as far away from the library as we do (hee, hee). I even have an on-line account and can't remember to make a few clicks and renew the books from my comfy chair.

Evan has been surprising me this week with his willingness to do book work. He's starting without me and not griping or whining. Yesterday, as I sent the older boys off to band, Evan started his Language page without me. I came over to help but he didn't need it. When he finished the front, we flipped it over. I instantly thought, "Oh no, easy street has a dead end." The back of the page had number words and they wanted him to write them all. He hates writing. But he did it with no complaints! He was even excited about how neatly he made some of the letters. His cooperation has carried over through today. He managed to do all his subjects in under an hour with nary a whine. He's even reading for fun and to entertain Matthew. :)
