*Lots to do this holiday weekend:
--buy and plant strawberries and cherry tomatoes for Annie's garden
--finish getting Gray moved to his new "room"
--lesson plans, etc. for next week
--dig up area for our new family garden and get it framed
--catch up on emails
--do some baking for the week ahead
--weed and reshelve one wall of library
--finish The Tempest, Enchanted Night, and Water: The Drop of Life
*Gray has found his newest reading obsession: Percy Jackson. Annie and I have been telling him for ages that he'd love these books, but he didn't seem to believe us. But then his teacher started reading The Lightening Thief to the class. Well, he couldn't wait for her to finish it--he came home and finished the first book in one night. Started the second one before school the next day (first time ever that he's spent his free time in the morning reading!) and continued reading it at Annie's soccer game last night (another first--he usually spends this time running around the park with his cohort in crime). I have a feeling that before this coming weekend is out we'll have to go to the bookstore to get him the fifth one since we don't already own it. And we might as well just pick up The Red Pyramid for him while we're at it. :)
