Well, the day is almost done and so far the only blood has been from yesterday's aforementioned loose tooth. This morning the older sister YANKED it out. Before breakfast. The little one just shrugged her shoulders and asked for chocolate porridge for breakfast. Translation: chocolate malt - o - meal. Nasty stuff if you ask me. I didn't try it but Clint says it tasted like crushed cocoa puffs. Yum. The real treat of the day wasn't the creamy cocoa puff breakfast - it was the much anticipated trip to the Dairy Maid, our local drive - in. It is arguably the best ice cream in the world. It was proceeded by a trip to the library and followed up with a 3 hour play session at the local park. Other than the recently de-toothed 5 year old peeing her pants and Charlie pooping his it was a fantastic trip to the park. I read a Bev Lewis novel. The whole thing. And everyone thinks I'm working my tail off taking care of these kids. Ha! I had a coconut cream blizzard from the Dairy Maid and read an entire novel all in the cover of a balmy 65 degree breeze. Spring Break has been good to me.
Day 5. Check.

Homeschool protest at MO State Capitol
Our field trip to the capitol was conveniently combined with a protest of a few thousand other homeschool families. Quite an experience. We were protesting senate bill 291 as you can see from Dalton's homemade protest sign in the picture. The bill we were protesting would have made MO homeschoolers report credits rather than hours. With that in place, the state would have then had the power to define what a credit is. Bad news. Long story short, the author of the language publicly apologized to all of us on the steps of the captiol building and said the bill was meant to affect public school and they never had the homeschoolers in mind. Well, we were mindful and the moral of the story was don't tick off the homeschoolers! Our good friend Valerie and her daughter Elizabeth are in the picture with Clint, Dalton and Luke. The picture shows a fraction of the amount of people who crowded onto and filled the steps and the lawn in front of the capitol. To end the rally we silently marched around the corridor that surrounds the inside meeting halls. The speaker compared it to the march of Joshua and the Israelites around the walls of Jericho. Needless to say Dalton, Luke and Elizabeth's eyes got wide at that point wondering, "Is this place gonna go down? Where are the trumpets?" We had to do some quick explaining but thought that part was hilarious. Good times, good times.
The basement
For farm kids, a 40x64 patch of concrete is heaven! They will probably protest when we start finishing it. Note the silo in the background....it's a landmarker for this area but it's coming down....to many visions of Luke climbing to the top of it.
