We have almost 4 weeks left of summer. We’ve been slacking this summer, but are starting anew after Labor Day. I have just enough time to order last minute books and get the curriculum charts ready. The 6yo is very excited about starting Year 1 of Ambleside. In addition, his Greek, Latin, and Italics books [...]
I keep waiting until I have something interesting to say about our life or our school, but sometimes it seems like it all is so mundane. So, here’s to the mundane. Our holidays are going well. We have a trip to the relatives under our belts, gifts opened and candles lit and extinguished. The grandparents, [...]

Tagged humorWe have had school every day this week, though at a reduced pace. I really need a break, but don’t think we can really afford to take a long one. T has been doing most of his work solo, concentrating on math, italics, Latin and his readings. D has been doing math and a little [...]

I can’t believe that I’ve been missing in action for more than a month! Life does get in the way. This will be a short post, as we haven’t started school for the day. Hopefully, I’ll whack my schedule into gear once more and make time for writing. For now, here’s what’s been going on… [...]
We weren’t left without a television for long. Less than a week later, my Dearest came in the front door with a brand new flat screen, high definition TV with a built in DVD player. I have to admit, it does look good. In keeping with our ultra frugal needs, Dearest bought it on Craigslist [...]
Our TV died today at exactly 4:30 PM today. Yes, just minutes into the 2 hour Super Bowl pre-game show.
