FOR TODAY March 1, 2010… Outside my window… the snow begins to melt and the puppy is tracking in mud. Is it bad to wish it would remain frozen forever? I am thinking… it feels good to sit down, we’ve been running hard today. I am thankful for… the work that needs done. (I have…

We took last week off because Mommy and the girls got the yucky cold N-boy had the week before. I was an impromptu decision. The flexibility of year-round homeschooling.
