Day home with Momma

We returned from Odin's birthday weekend of fun LATE Monday night.  Odin wasn't feeling 100% so we let him stay home from school the following day.  He promised to help mom with lots of chores and do some school work.  We started off by putting away all the laundry from camping.  Odin did his own AND Bjorn's!  Then we did the dishes (Odin rinsed), folded all the blankets and sheets from the trip and put away all the toys scattered across the cabin.  We rewarded ourselves with a bike ride and then went right back to work doing math problems!

Odin is really good at adding and subtracting, so Momma threw in some fractions (just to see what would happen).  Odin understood the concept, answered the questions AND then told her that there are 8 halves of a quarter in a whole. Yes! He's got it!

Following math we ate lunch and then prepared veggie soup for dinner.  Odin cut carrots, potatoes and cabbage for the soup and let Momma do the onion.

We ended the day practicing our "sh, ch, h" sounding words and reading some stories.  It was a great "sick" day and Momma can't wait to do it again!  Odin said, "Momma, I like being home with you and helping you with chores.  Can we do this every other day?"  "Ah...I wish, my love, I wish..." said momma.
