Day 57
Today's Activities:- Volunteer at food bank - Today we did the most undesirable job of sorting through rotting onions. We love the food bank and the sense of 'lending a hand' we get from the work. We were however pretty grossed out by the onions and the fact that we were asked to save all those that were 50% bad or less. The girls really had a tough time putting molding onions in the 'keep' pile. Today was such a change from the last few visits when we sorted and labeled canned goods. Anything with a dent was tossed for the sake of the food bank's liability. The litigious society that we live in really misses the mark sometimes. The purpose of a food bank is to help those in need and the fact that our food bank has to worry as much about getting out the food as they do about being sued is just plain wrong.

Bonus lessons: Mark brought out his trumpet to show Madelyn what reveille and taps sound like since she read about them in her book. Also, Catherine & Chloe learned to ride two-wheelers today. It was no trouble as they were more than ready! Great PE on the cul de sac.
