Started the day off with PE- dog walking style, so much rain last night, should have worn our rubber boots to walk down the road. Glad we did our ditch cleaning service on no school day 1, the ditches were filled to capacity and overflowing this morning.
Chloe went along too but is so spoiled she got to be carried instead of having to get her paws wet.
On the way home, out of the blue Brittney bends down and picks up TWO four leaf clovers! How lucky is that? No idea how she could even spot these as we were just walking down the road with grass and weeds on both sides. She sure does have an eye for 4 leaf clovers, finds them all the time! Lucky girl.
Social Studies/History - Watched American History for Kids, the Civil war. Interesting documentary about how kids were involved in the war. Kids as young as 8 helped as drummer boys, runners, gun powder carriers and assisted the medical teams to help the wounded. I never knew they had kids in the war! Our kids have it pretty easy to be called to stay home right now instead of fight in a war!
Civil engineering- Carissa and Scott worked on flood control and ditch digging. This seems to be endless this year! There is just so much water, never seen it like this before. It is only a temporary fix but at least drained out big puddles in the driveway.
Engineering- Brittney designed a way to hang her new saddle blanket rack from day 4. Used a bolt and some duct tape to make a bridle hook work in the close hanger rod. So proud of her for thinking of this on her own. She just "saw" it in her mind. We may have an engineer on our hands!
She also helped built a saddle rack out of some old gridwall parts. Reminded me of my days working a AA Callister We used to build racks like this all the time for saddle displays.
Music- quite a bit of piano playing today.
Band- found a new reality documentary series about competitive marching bands. Kids were glued! Then hoping to be able to do "real" band again someday.
Veterinary science- Lameness examination and evaluation, wound cleaning and doctoring of my mare Autumn. Right rear, only a small cut but it is swollen and sore.
