I watched the kids all through dinner and not one of them spoke without being spoken to. They meet their father's eye when speaking to him and it scared me. What children under normal circumstances would be that polite, no child would.

"Knock, knock can I come in?" I asked the youngest Lacey as I walked into her room. She looked and nodded smiling at me.

"What are you working on?" I asked her trying to look at her work, but she had covered it with her hair. " Oh, I'm drawing but don't tell my dad, I'm supposed to working on a project for when school starts back." Lacey said looking towards the door I closed.

"I like to draw to, you want to see my sketchbook, after you finish your work." I asked her. She nodded her head shyly.

"Will you help me with my work please." She asked me digging it out of her bag.

"Sure, what do you need help with." I asked looking at her homework and familiarizing myself with the material.

Fifteen minutes later, we were finished and I left to visit with Nicholas. When I entered his room he was also at his desk.

"What are you doing Nicholas." I asked him entering the room.

"Just my history homework." Nicholas said not bothering to turn around. "We have to research someone from the Civil War, that served in the Confederacy. Its due the day we go back" He told me finally looking at me.

"My son Jasper is a whiz when it comes to the Civil War especially the Confederacy." I told him watching his eyes light up.

"I love the Confederacy to, I'm researching Major Jasper Whitlock, and he was the youngest major in the Texas Calvary." Nicholas said proud of his research.

"You know that was my son's great-great grandfather, he was even named after him." I told Nicholas I could tell Jasper and him would get along great.

"You also remind me of my son Jasper to Nicholas." I said smiling at his infectious nature.

Twenty minutes later I went to Katie's room to see what she was up to.

"Hey Katie, what are you up to?" I asked her as I sat down beside her.

"Just listening to music, though dad thinks I'm cleaning my room." As she talked she turned the music down.

"You don't have to turn the music down I have a daughter who loves to listen to music, along with singing and dancing." I told her to try and get her turn the music back up.

"I love to sing and dance to, but its something my parents disapprove of. The rule is to have homework and chores done first, but I always listen to it whenever I'm in my room. I guess you could say I'm good at multi-tasking." Katie said a little of breath from her rant.

"Do you need help with any of your homework, or do you have it?" I asked Katie looking at the pile of homework spread out on her bed.

"No, I have it I just have to write a draft for an oral report." She said working on her draft as she spoke.

"Ok, I'll be in my room if any of you need me." I told Katie walking to her door.
