Such a good book! It was a quick read, too. Not only was it a good story, but I had to keep reminding myself that it was non-fiction. The story takes place around World War I on a poor street in England. The interesting thing about the street is that half of it is Jewish and the other half is Christian and, for the most part, the two sides don’t interact or even talk with one another. Even though they may not be speaking with one another, there are several stories brewing on both sides of the street and that is what keeps you reading. This author has written another biography, as well, and I am on the waiting list at the library for that one.

My plan today was to: take Colm to school, help the librarian at Colm’s school for about an hour, go help the art teacher at Liam’s school for most of the day, go home and watch the video I needed to watch for Bible Study and then go pick up the boys from school. This is how it actually went: took Colm to school and as I was getting ready to go upstairs to the library the secretary asked me if I could help serve lunch today since the parent who was supposed to do it was out of town, I said yes, decided I could help in the library tomorrow, drove to Liam’s school and helped the art teacher for about 45 minutes, drove back to Colm’s school, served lunch and ate lunch with Colm, drove back to Liam’s school and helped the art teacher a little bit more, drove back to Colm’s school, picked him up and then went and got Liam. I’m tired from all that driving.

The boys didn’t have school today, so we went with some friends down to Crown Center. One of the things that we did at Crown Center was visit Chip’s Chocolate Factory. They watched a batch or two of fudge being made and got to sample both, learned about the history of chocolate and where it comes from, and learned about some tasty chocolate treats we can make at home. We had more samples than we probably needed and THEN got to take home a goody bag of treats as well.

Colm had his party yesterday and Liam had his today. I didn’t get too many pictures of Colm’s party because I was helping with a very messy craft. Oh well!!

Liam got his yellow belt today. I don’t think I have ever been so proud of him. It was awesome and he did it ALL BY HIMSELF. There was no one else testing today, so he was a one man show.
