Oops, it's a fast day!

Man, this is a crazy month where every day is something!  Fortunately we are such great people that we don't have to practice at religion anymore, so I won't feel badly that I made twice baked potato casserole for dinner.  Bacon on the side, of course!  In fact, Skyler and Brian are the only meat eaters who will be dining, and they are both heathens (ahem, protestants) by design, so even if I meant to try, I would be OK!  

I have about 4 minutes before I have to add the cheese and take the cover off, in reverse order, of course, so I thought a quick update would be in order.  When we do homework, Liam's grade is supposed to read for at least 15 minutes and Skyler's grade is supposed to read for at least 20.  So, we have Skyler read out loud straight through for 10 minutes getting as far as he can.  Then, he goes back to the beginning and re reads the 2 or 3 pages focusing more on the inflection and sentence structure than just the words.  Today, I was so impressed at not just how far he got, but the ease at which he reread the pages.  After he reads he has to spend about 30 seconds telling me what he read about.  Normally, he gets one sentence stuck in his head and just says that, or copies that part into his reading response.  The last 2 times, he has been able to accurately sum up what he has read, and condense it into 2-3 sentences and write them down!  I am super impressed!

My timer is beeping!  Home visit tomorrow, wish us luck!
