While cleaning yesterday, I found that Joshua has 5 toothbrushes in his drawer. One is unopened. Only one is used on a regular basis. Anyway, I told him his lightsaber toothbrush is going to disappear soon. I understand he likes it because it makes sounds, but it's old and not used that often. So we took a picture of it. (He looks a lot sadder in this picture than I think he actually is.)

Wednesday: O:CtH - guest room
It's officially finished! It's been dusted, vacuumed, and decluttered. The furniture was moved. And so, I present to you...the Guest Room! (I don't have pictures from the worst of it...but just imagine the whole floor covered in some game and the edges piled a little higher.)

Friday: mop
Ben and Isaac were horsing around, and Isaac decided it would be a good idea to open Ben's water bottle to get things wet. So Ben used Isaac as a mop; Isaac was laughing so hard.

Thursday: behavior report
We received a behavior report for Isaac today. This is the first one he's ever gotten, so I don't know if it's a new system or if it's just that he's never gotten one before.
"Behavior: Respectful Behavior
Recognized By: K. GRUPPEN
Notes: I am so pleased that Isaac is in my class this year. He is such a respectful kid. Today he was working in a small group that required some extra patience. He remained calm and gentle throughout the work time. I'm so proud of him :)"

Tuesday: morning surprise
When I woke up this morning, I found that the boys had cleaned off the table. It was a part I told them they didn't have to clean up because they were still working on a project, but apparently they decided that they were done with the project and just cleaned it up.
I reciprocated their kindness by not making them clean as long for their evening chores.
