Went to Legacy Village to get the $20 voucher for $10. I took the kids to Joseph Beth bookstore to spend their birthday money.  Chase got an anthill, sheriff’s handcuffs, some small animals and I picked out for him a paperback “Farmer Boy” and a book from the Caroline Years series. (I will probably read that one first!)  Alyssa got a paint pony puppet that she spotted when we first walked into the door.  She clung to it the whole time we were there.  Most of her time she spent playing with the Groovy girls.  She ended up talking me into a bed and a doll from that line.  They are cute and we definitely spent all of our vouchers.  So much for using them at the grocery store!  We will have a lite Christmas this year. I also got her the nursery rhyme book that she likes from the library and some Golden Book classics (3 Bears, 3 Little Bears). We met Lisa and Logan at the bookstore so the cousins got to spend some time together too.  We came home and began homeschooling but it was hard for Chase to focus and get going.  I did have Chase do 2 math lessons today to try to catch up a little before our Christmas break.
