This morning Daddy put the girls to work before they were even out of their pajamas or ate breakfast. It was for their room so they were excited to help. He put up an organizing system in their closet so Emily's clothes can be up high and Lily's clothes can be down low. Emily put in the hanging rods and Lily put in the clips to hold the shelves.
Then after breakfast, the six of us went to the shop just as we do most Saturdays. Instead of cleaning or working we went hiking in the woods behind the shop. Our total property equals 3.91 acres of beautiful woods that a creek borders on one side. Only a small portion is used for the business. We are planning to build a home on the property since we already own it we might as well go ahead and use it. It really is so beautiful that we are going to take our annual family portrait out there in two weeks.
In other news, Emily has just finished up a study on Japan. She was enjoying it so much that it saddens me to tell her that we are done. She was really into it. She checked out a Japaneese Folktales book at the library in addition to our regular curriculum. She also went to spend Tuesday morning with her Great-Grandma (like she usually does when I take the little ones to story time at the library) and Great-Grandma showed her all the things that Great-Grandpa brought back from Japan during WWII. I would love for Paul to take her to a Japanese restauraunt, although he would probably be the only one eating. I would probably keep going with Japan if I wasn't in such a hurry to finish up second grade before the baby is born. I'm glad she enjoys learning about different countries.

That sounds so wonderful walking in the woods. :) Work days are always fun. :) The Japan study sounds fun too. There's always Osaka. :) Paul and Adam and I ate there once after church, I LOVE it, don't know what Paul thought exactly. The Hibachi style (cook it in fron of you) restaurants are expensive but so fun. I know of one in Athens called Inoko. I'm sure there's one closer somewhere, maybe in Gainesville. See you in a month or so! :)
