FOR TODAY Outside my window… it’s c-c-c-cold. Like 26* cold. [brrrr] I am thinking… about Yuletide Session Plans. I hope to post them this week seeing as they start on Sunday. I am thankful… for a time of Thanksgiving in our cultural consciousness. That a day is still set aside is a blessing. In the…
We’re done! Our 2013 Academic Year finished today. Hooray! Yippee! It was a tough week, I won’t lie. We did a pretty good job getting school work accomplished, but maybe not as good as I might have hoped. We finished our science book in the car. We read about caves and the Grand Canyon. Earlier…

In the kitchen… we had sausage biscuits for breakfast – premade patties and biscuits from a can, but yum. I…
We’ve had several mediocre weeks. We’ve gotten a reasonable amount of work done, but not as much as I’d like and a lot more whining than I’d like … you know how it goes. We haven’t done Circle Time in several weeks and I think we’re just going to not try to pick it…
