Last day of August
I have a half hour trip to Nagaoka, and I thought I would try something different. Today I will blog while on the train while I am en route to orchestra. This is our last day of break. I know it is the weekend starting tomorrow, but the school break is over.
I gave the boys a lap book assignment over break. Japan is really into summer homework, so consider this summer homework, if you will. I decided this summer the boys should work together on a lap book. The subject of the lap book was the "Summer Olympics 2012". A third of the book was information regarding the history of the Olympics all the way back to Ancient Greece. A third of the book was about the history of the modern Olympics from 1896 to the London Olympics this summer. The final third of the book covered some of the winners of the London Olympics. I am not sure how they felt about doing this lap book, but it was sure nice to see the work together. They actually finished the project today.
Today I did my Saturday cleaning. I know it is Friday, but we are busy tomorrow. I amalso prepared lunches for tomorrows outing. We are headed initially to Kashiwazaki, but from there I will leave the kids and Corey at the Mort house, while the women; including Laura, Robin, Chan, and myself, head to a new Costco.
The train is getting closer to my destination, so I had better start paying attention. I am off to a 2 hour and 15 minutes orchestra practice.-----------

You seem to have a very adventurous life! So many places to go!! My kids get a little summer homework over summer as well. That way it keeps the brain refreshed!!
Have a good trip to Costco. Our nearest one is over two hours away, and as I look at my dwindling supplies, I realize we haven't been to one since last year sometime.
