Vacation

Sam decided to finish up that last bit of school quickly so he could have 2 days of "nothing but violin." Then, tonight when he was finished reading to himself he asked for another chapter of the read aloud "Sign of the Beaver." He is enjoying it a lot. The idea of a 12 year old staying in a cabin alone and having a gun he knows how to use--very enticing. After each chapter I have to endure a lot of gunshot sounds :-). Today, when the stranger stole the gun, it bothered Sam and he got real quiet. We talked about how Matt should have trusted his instincts. I told him that it is okay to avoid someone who feels "creepy" especially when parents are not around. Then the gunshots echoed through the bedroom, we prayed our goodnight prayers and turned off the light.
