Monday: work

 We had a great weekend - I'll post on that eventually.

Today we worked hard in the morning.  I had a mountain of grading (that I just finished), Isaac had a mountain of math (that he is on top of), and Joshua forgot his math packet this weekend so he had about a week's worth of homework.  He was going to bring it and work on it during the competition, but it got left at home.

Then Joshua went to the optometrist for contacts.  He got the contacts in and he got one out - I did the other one.  It was an emotional time for him, I think because he wants them so badly and they didn't just pop in and out of his eye.  But he did the minimum required at the office and it'll get easier over time.

Then Isaac had a dentist appointment.  He needs to have a wiggly tooth pulled because it's preventing another tooth from coming in, but no one seems otherwise worried about it.

At home I decided to make applesauce to go with dinner.  There was good reasoning in my brain: the fruit flies had enjoyed the smell of the apples while were were gone and I'm afraid they're about to turn.  I'm not sure that a) they're about to turn as they seem just fine and b) that it was a good use of my time.  There's a toilet that's rather high on my priority list that I didn't look at today.  But!  Grading is done ...for now.  Unless something changes on the calendar I expect this will have been one of the hardest weekends to get that done.
