Topsy Turvy Day

Today was an interesting day. 

Today I went to work while Todd stayed home with the kids.

Todd teaches at the local Christian school and every other Friday they have extra-curricular activities.  These activities are things like skiing (when there is snow), going on ropes courses, hiking, and today it was paintball. On these off Fridays, Todd doesn't have to go in to school which is really nice because he needs the extra morning to get caught up on school and church paperwork.  Now you may be saying, but today isn't Friday and your right, it's Thursday.  However, this was the day they could schedule for the paintball so it was treated like Friday which meant Todd had the day off.  This is sounding more and more confusing.  In short, the school needed someone to watch over Todd's middle schoolers in the morning before the high schoolers left to play paintball.  That brings you to me.  The Sub. 

It was pretty fun being in the classroom.  I actually got to teach Pre-Alg, Algebra, and General Science this morning.  It was also very encouraging to me to realize that all the material they were covering my kids have already covered.  In fact, if they walked into the classroom today, they could easily do the work.  That makes me feel better.

While I was busy subbing, Todd had the kids do their math and language and then they headed out to pick up firewood.  The kids unloaded two truck loads of firewood.  It sounds like a lot, but only time will tell.  Todd will probably head back up into the woods this weekend to get some more.  Everyone expects to have snow by Thanksgiving.  Right now, we are having a fire about every morning to warm up the house and then we are good for the rest of the day.

So that was our topsy turvy day.  Now I just need to finish putting  up pumpkin for some bread and pies and get ready for youth group tonight.
