Lesson Learned?

We've had to divide up our block of piano lessons during soccer season, which means that when we go back to our teacher's house for Cat's lesson after dinner, the younger kids have had sufficient time to complete their homework.  I attend Cat's lesson every other week, so on the weeks when I'm not listening in, I usually take the kids to a nearby playground while Cat has her lesson.  Everyone who's finished his/her homework gets to play on the playground.  For the first two times we did this, Luke was not able to play because he hadn't done his homework, even though he knew what he would be missing out on.

But the third time?  He worked quickly and finished everything in time to have some fun on a beautiful fall evening.
