Good week, graciousness, constant reading

1. My in-laws left for home today, after a week of concerts and no big arguments. And my house is cleaner now than it was at this time last week.
   
   
2. I made a mistake about the research paper that my oldest has to write for school this year. Even though she was disappointed, she was so gracious about the whole thing. I love her sweet spirit.
   
   
3. I'm having trouble getting my youngest to stop reading so she can help around the house. It's not often that I don't have to nag her to work on school, so this is a nice break for me.
