Kelly made twenty dollars yesterday at her baby-sitting job. Very impressive. She was the only one there and they had to go a little bit long. She was very happy. We are still in catch-up mode after a very busy week last week. There were recitals and parties and all the normal stuff, too, so we are getting behind on math and the all important annual research reports. I think we can be completely caught up if we all work hard for the rest of the week.
Christian and I went to Staples yesterday afternoon and picked up most of the materials we will need for our summer drawing class. It was really fun. We got an electric eraser, drawing books, lead holders (not to be confused with mechanical pencils), smudging equipment, rulers, etc. I think the only thing we have left are some additional types of pencil lead and an erasing shield. Best of all, though, is the really cool bag we got so we can keep everything together. We are excited to get started. I think we will start on Thursday if we can get caught back up on our homeschool work.
Update: I did not have enough money to do an April stock pick, but should be able to do one next month. In the meantime, here are my results so far. The green line shows my picks. The blue line shows an equal amount of the S&P 500.
