Mattias spent the day playing with electromagnets and trying to keep brother Asher from magnetising his head. Then came soccer practice. I could tell that this was a stressful time for Mattias. He was expected by the coach to run up and down the field at least twenty times chasing a small ball and stealing it away from everyone else! No wonder once he got home all he wanted to do was curl up in bed with a good book.
Asher's day consisted of trying to magnetise Mattias' head (see text above) until fencing practice. Fencing is the art of poking people with very sharp pieces of thin metal. Asher is quick on his feet and likes poking people, so he excels at this. The picture below shows him on the left behind the tall fellow in blue, as well as some of the people from Asher's local fencing club crossing swords.
And finally, Noel's day consisted of doing difficult algebra problems in her head, and then going off to swim team practice. She and Deb decided they would bike to practice through the crisp Wisconsin air (see this entry if you think I'm serious) just for fun. Luckily she (and Deb) survived that outing, and Noel went on to help Sylvia organise a very large pile of thumbtacks. The picture below shows the two happy workers.
