0735 - Amy has been suckered into working the whole day. Good for the paycheck. . . but this leaves dad home with three kids, one to come later in the afternoon and no pre-written school plan for the day. Buwahahahaha!!!
0830 - Mom is off to work. Time to start the mischief!
0845 - Hire the Muppet's back up drummers for entertainment (Animal was already booked through the end of spring).
James banishes himself to the living room to "suffer" through reading.
0915 - The timer goes off and dad decides that while reading is a key skill to have, we probably ought to hone a couple of others.
James *happily* runs away from the *deplorable* task of reading, and *happily* pulls up a chair to talk science.
0920 - James and dad talk about habitats, adaptations, and the critters that might live in specific oceanic habitats.
0930 - Muppet backup drummers breakout in a game of broom hockey in the breezeway (please don't tell mom!).
0945 James discovers the dark likability of the deep sea and it's evil looking creatures. Suddenly he has a new love of science! He picks five ocean creatures to read about (yes, he learned about field guides, indexes, and navigating via color/shape keys), and draw in their environments.
1145 - Lunch time - Hockey games is called into half time (no broken bones yet). Dastardly looking sea creatures returned to the murky deep. Yummy fruit and sandwiches on the table.
1230 - Early nap time. Dad has to grab a quick cat nap before Neila (our extra kid a couple of days a week) comes over. Five hours and thirty minutes (roughly) before mom returns home. . .
